Eprex and Apidra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Eprex (epoetin alfa) and Apidra (insulin glulisine recombinant). Common drug interactions include cerebrovascular accident among females and blood pressure increased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Eprex and Apidra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Eprex?
Eprex has active ingredients of epoetin alfa. eHealthMe is studying from 5,554 Eprex users. Check the latest studies of Eprex.
What is Apidra?
Apidra has active ingredients of insulin glulisine recombinant. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 10,548 Apidra users. Check the latest studies of Apidra.
35 people who take Eprex and Apidra together, and have interactions are studied.
