Cortril and Januvia drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Cortril (hydrocortisone) and Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate). Common drug interactions include cushing's syndrome among females and platelet count decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Cortril and Januvia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Cortril?
Cortril has active ingredients of hydrocortisone. eHealthMe is studying from 1,715 Cortril users. Check the latest studies of Cortril.
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.
24 people who take Cortril and Januvia together, and have interactions are studied.
