Colestid and Januvia drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Colestid (colestipol hydrochloride) and Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate). Common drug interactions include renal failure among females and asthenia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Colestid and Januvia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Colestid?
Colestid has active ingredients of colestipol hydrochloride. It is often used in irritable bowel syndrome. eHealthMe is studying from 2,233 Colestid users. Check the latest studies of Colestid.
What is Januvia?
Januvia has active ingredients of sitagliptin phosphate. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 72,818 Januvia users. Check the latest studies of Januvia.
27 people who take Colestid and Januvia together, and have interactions are studied.
