Minoxidil and Vitamin e drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Minoxidil (minoxidil) and Vitamin e (tocopherols and tocotrienols). Common drug interactions include conjunctivitis among females and cardiac failure congestive among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Minoxidil and Vitamin e. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
