Finasteride and Prevalite drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Prevalite (cholestyramine). Common drug interactions include arthralgia among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Prevalite. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
