Proscar and Intron a drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Proscar (finasteride) and Intron a (interferon alfa-2b). Common drug interactions include anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Proscar and Intron a. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 11 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
