Selenium and Exidine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Selenium (selenium) and Exidine (chlorhexidine gluconate). Common drug interactions include bone density decreased among females and anaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Selenium and Exidine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 60 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on selenium and chlorhexidine gluconate (the active ingredients of Selenium and Exidine, respectively), and Selenium and Exidine (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.

How to use the study?
