Activase and Metformin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Activase (alteplase) and Metformin (metformin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include haemorrhage intracranial among females and arthropathy among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Activase and Metformin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 65 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
