Diclofenac sodium and Proscar drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Diclofenac sodium (diclofenac sodium) and Proscar (finasteride). Common drug interactions include dermatitis contact among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Diclofenac sodium and Proscar. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
