Flovent and Flector drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flovent (fluticasone propionate) and Flector (diclofenac epolamine). Common drug interactions include leukopenia among females and herpes simplex among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flovent and Flector. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 16 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 diclofenac epolamine (the active ingredients of Flovent and Flector, respectively), and Flovent and Flector (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.
