Effient and Glucophage drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Effient (prasugrel hydrochloride) and Glucophage (metformin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include balance disorder among females and angina unstable among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Effient and Glucophage. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 56 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
