Finasteride and Selenium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Finasteride (finasteride) and Selenium (selenium). Common drug interactions include skin irritation among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Finasteride and Selenium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 80 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
