Evening primrose and Humalog drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Evening primrose (evening primrose oil) and Humalog (insulin lispro recombinant). Common drug interactions include blood glucose increased among females and atrial fibrillation among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Evening primrose and Humalog. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
