Finasteride and Alphagan p drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Alphagan p (brimonidine tartrate). Common drug interactions include abdominal discomfort among females and dizziness among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Alphagan p. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 78 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
