Dilantin and Rhinocort drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Dilantin (phenytoin sodium) and Rhinocort (budesonide). Common drug interactions include bronchitis chronic among females and agranulocytosis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Dilantin and Rhinocort. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
