Motrin and Fluorouracil drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Motrin (ibuprofen) and Fluorouracil (fluorouracil). Common drug interactions include gait disturbance among females and asthenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Motrin and Fluorouracil. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
