Copaxone and Levemir drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) and Levemir (insulin detemir recombinant). Common drug interactions include gastrooesophageal reflux disease among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Copaxone and Levemir. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 12 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Copaxone?
Copaxone has active ingredients of glatiramer acetate. It is often used in multiple sclerosis. eHealthMe is studying from 56,931 Copaxone users. Check the latest studies of Copaxone.
What is Levemir?
Levemir has active ingredients of insulin detemir recombinant. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 13,850 Levemir users. Check the latest studies of Levemir.
12 people who take Copaxone and Levemir together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on glatiramer acetate and insulin detemir recombinant (the active ingredients of Copaxone and Levemir, respectively), and Copaxone and Levemir (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
