Actos and Hydrocodone drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride) and Hydrocodone (hydrocodone bitartrate; ibuprofen). Common drug interactions include oedema among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Actos and Hydrocodone. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 72 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Actos?
Actos has active ingredients of pioglitazone hydrochloride. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 49,754 Actos users. Check the latest studies of Actos.
What is Hydrocodone?
Hydrocodone has active ingredients of hydrocodone bitartrate; ibuprofen. eHealthMe is studying from 13,115 Hydrocodone users. Check the latest studies of Hydrocodone.
72 people who take Actos and Hydrocodone together, and have interactions are studied.
