Arava and Sular drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Arava (leflunomide) and Sular (nisoldipine). Common drug interactions include autoimmune hepatitis among females and subcutaneous abscess among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Arava and Sular. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
