Provera and Truvada drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) and Truvada (emtricitabine; tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). Common drug interactions include hip fracture among females and diarrhoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Provera and Truvada. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 52 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
