Apidra and Zolpidem drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Apidra (insulin glulisine recombinant) and Zolpidem (zolpidem tartrate). Common drug interactions include hyperglycaemia among females and thrombocytopenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Apidra and Zolpidem. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Apidra?
Apidra has active ingredients of insulin glulisine recombinant. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 10,548 Apidra users. Check the latest studies of Apidra.
What is Zolpidem?
Zolpidem has active ingredients of zolpidem tartrate. It is often used in insomnia. eHealthMe is studying from 92,695 Zolpidem users. Check the latest studies of Zolpidem.
