Paracetamol and Selenium drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and Selenium (selenium). Common drug interactions include pancytopenia among females and febrile neutropenia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Paracetamol and Selenium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 69 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
