Finasteride and Micafungin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Micafungin (micafungin sodium). Common drug interactions include proctalgia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Micafungin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 18 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

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