Proscar and Estinyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Proscar (finasteride) and Estinyl (ethinyl estradiol). Common drug interactions include abdominal discomfort among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Proscar and Estinyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
