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

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Avonex (interferon beta 1a) and Pyridium (phenazopyridine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include migraine among females and nephrolithiasis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Avonex and Pyridium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
