Fentanyl and Selenium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Fentanyl (fentanyl citrate) and Selenium (selenium). Common drug interactions include spinal osteoarthritis among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Fentanyl and Selenium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 64 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Fentanyl has active ingredients of fentanyl citrate. It is often used in pain. eHealthMe is studying from 73,301 Fentanyl users. Check the latest studies of Fentanyl.
What is Selenium?
Selenium has active ingredients of selenium. It is often used in vitamin supplementation. eHealthMe is studying from 5,314 Selenium users. Check the latest studies of Selenium.
64 people who take Fentanyl and Selenium together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on fentanyl citrate and selenium (the active ingredients of Fentanyl and Selenium, respectively), and Fentanyl and Selenium (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
