Vagifem and Asacol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Vagifem (estradiol) and Asacol (mesalamine). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and myelodysplastic syndrome among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Vagifem and Asacol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 17 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Vagifem?
Vagifem has active ingredients of estradiol. It is often used in vulvovaginal dryness. eHealthMe is studying from 6,263 Vagifem users. Check the latest studies of Vagifem.
What is Asacol?
Asacol has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 20,618 Asacol users. Check the latest studies of Asacol.
17 people who take Vagifem and Asacol together, and have interactions are studied.
