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.
What is Avonex?
Avonex has active ingredients of interferon beta 1a. It is often used in multiple sclerosis. eHealthMe is studying from 198,544 Avonex users. Check the latest studies of Avonex.
What is Pyridium?
Pyridium has active ingredients of phenazopyridine hydrochloride. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 1,841 Pyridium users. Check the latest studies of Pyridium.
25 people who take Avonex and Pyridium together, and have interactions are studied.
