Activase and Glucotrol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Activase (alteplase) and Glucotrol (glipizide). Common drug interactions include angioedema among females and cardiomegaly among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Activase and Glucotrol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 14 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Activase?
Activase has active ingredients of alteplase. eHealthMe is studying from 7,526 Activase users. Check the latest studies of Activase.
What is Glucotrol?
Glucotrol has active ingredients of glipizide. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 20,322 Glucotrol users. Check the latest studies of Glucotrol.
14 people who take Activase and Glucotrol together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on alteplase and glipizide (the active ingredients of Activase and Glucotrol, respectively), and Activase and Glucotrol (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?
