Glucophage and Azelastine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glucophage (metformin hydrochloride) and Azelastine (azelastine hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include drug tolerance decreased among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glucophage and Azelastine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 43 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
