Actemra and Amaryl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Actemra (tocilizumab) and Amaryl (glimepiride). Common drug interactions include upper respiratory tract inflammation among females and myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Actemra and Amaryl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 100 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
