In the process of finding RSA key pairs, we first find a e that is relatively prime to φ(n) (where n = p × q), and then find d such that e × d mod φ(n) = 1. Is d also relatively prime to φ(n), or not necessarily?

In practice, e is usually chosen to be 3 or 65537, but if we choose e to be a large enough number, can e and d be used interchangeably?
