Voltaren and Celestone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Voltaren (diclofenac sodium) and Celestone (betamethasone). Common drug interactions include dyspnoea among females and autoimmune arthritis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Voltaren and Celestone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

Voltaren has active ingredients of diclofenac sodium. It is often used in arthritis. eHealthMe is studying from 82,346 Voltaren users. Check the latest studies of Voltaren.
What is Celestone?
Celestone has active ingredients of betamethasone. It is often used in bursitis. eHealthMe is studying from 1,788 Celestone users. Check the latest studies of Celestone.
24 people who take Voltaren and Celestone together, and have interactions are studied.
