Povidone iodine and Neoral drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Povidone iodine (povidone-iodine) and Neoral (cyclosporine). Common drug interactions include rash among females and oral candidiasis among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Povidone iodine and Neoral. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
