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.
