Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Florinef (fludrocortisone acetate) and Macrobid (nitrofurantoin; nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline). Common drug interactions include anxiety among females and dizziness among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Florinef and Macrobid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 32 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
