Glipizide and Nitrofurantoin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glipizide (glipizide) and Nitrofurantoin (nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline). Common drug interactions include confusional state among females and anxiety among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glipizide and Nitrofurantoin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 66 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Glipizide?
Glipizide has active ingredients of glipizide. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 64,852 Glipizide users. Check the latest studies of Glipizide.
What is Nitrofurantoin?
Nitrofurantoin has active ingredients of nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline. It is often used in urinary tract infection. eHealthMe is studying from 4,837 Nitrofurantoin users. Check the latest studies of Nitrofurantoin.
66 people who take Glipizide and Nitrofurantoin together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on glipizide and nitrofurantoin, macrocrystalline (the active ingredients of Glipizide and Nitrofurantoin, respectively), and Glipizide and Nitrofurantoin (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
How to use the study?
