Efudex and Pregabalin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Efudex (fluorouracil) and Pregabalin (pregabalin). Common drug interactions include pyrexia among females and pneumonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Efudex and Pregabalin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 23 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
