Finasteride and Febuxostat drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Febuxostat (febuxostat). Common drug interactions include hallucination among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Febuxostat. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 79 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
