Minoxidil and Pregabalin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Minoxidil (minoxidil) and Pregabalin (pregabalin). Common drug interactions include fungal infection among females and hypoaesthesia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Minoxidil and Pregabalin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 58 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
