Avodart and Minoxidil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Avodart (dutasteride) and Minoxidil (minoxidil). Common drug interactions include cough among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Avodart and Minoxidil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
