Avonex and Lactobacillus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Avonex (interferon beta 1a) and Lactobacillus (lactobacillus). Common drug interactions include stress among females and drug ineffective among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Avonex and Lactobacillus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
