Acarbose and Entresto drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Acarbose (acarbose) and Entresto (sacubitril; valsartan). Common drug interactions include hypokalaemia among females and abdominal distension among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Acarbose and Entresto. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 15 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
