Hydroxyurea and Diflucan drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Hydroxyurea (hydroxyurea) and Diflucan (fluconazole). Common drug interactions include diarrhoea among females and acute myeloid leukaemia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Hydroxyurea and Diflucan. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 52 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Hydroxyurea?
Hydroxyurea has active ingredients of hydroxyurea. It is often used in polycythemia vera. eHealthMe is studying from 17,240 Hydroxyurea users. Check the latest studies of Hydroxyurea.
What is Diflucan?
Diflucan has active ingredients of fluconazole. It is often used in vaginal yeast infection. eHealthMe is studying from 28,471 Diflucan users. Check the latest studies of Diflucan.
52 people who take Hydroxyurea and Diflucan together, and have interactions are studied.
