Propecia and Gabapentin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Propecia (finasteride) and Gabapentin (gabapentin). Common drug interactions include fall among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Propecia and Gabapentin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 85 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Propecia?
Propecia has active ingredients of finasteride. It is often used in hair loss. eHealthMe is studying from 9,757 Propecia users. Check the latest studies of Propecia.
What is Gabapentin?
Gabapentin has active ingredients of gabapentin. It is often used in peripheral neuropathy. eHealthMe is studying from 322,987 Gabapentin users. Check the latest studies of Gabapentin.
85 people who take Propecia and Gabapentin together, and have interactions are studied.
