Finasteride and Bifidobacterium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Bifidobacterium (bifidobacteria). Common drug interactions include neuropathy peripheral among females and pyrexia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Bifidobacterium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Finasteride?
Finasteride has active ingredients of finasteride. It is often used in prostate examination abnormal. eHealthMe is studying from 44,177 Finasteride users. Check the latest studies of Finasteride.
What is Bifidobacterium?
Bifidobacterium has active ingredients of bifidobacteria. eHealthMe is studying from 5,013 Bifidobacterium users. Check the latest studies of Bifidobacterium.
62 people who take Finasteride and Bifidobacterium together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on finasteride and bifidobacteria (the active ingredients of Finasteride and Bifidobacterium, respectively), and Finasteride and Bifidobacterium (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.
