Glimepiride and Precose drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glimepiride (glimepiride) and Precose (acarbose). Common drug interactions include blood glucose increased among females and bladder cancer among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glimepiride and Precose. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Glimepiride?
Glimepiride has active ingredients of glimepiride. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 45,909 Glimepiride users. Check the latest studies of Glimepiride.
What is Precose?
Precose has active ingredients of acarbose. eHealthMe is studying from 1,189 Precose users. Check the latest studies of Precose.
20 people who take Glimepiride and Precose together, and have interactions are studied.
