Flovent hfa and Xopenex hfa drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flovent hfa (fluticasone propionate) and Xopenex hfa (levalbuterol tartrate). Common drug interactions include bacterial infection among females and dysgeusia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flovent hfa and Xopenex hfa. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 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 fluticasone propionate and levalbuterol tartrate (the active ingredients of Flovent hfa and Xopenex hfa, respectively), and Flovent hfa and Xopenex hfa (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.
