Finasteride and Curcumin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Curcumin (turmeric). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Curcumin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
