Glucophage and Mesalamine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glucophage (metformin hydrochloride) and Mesalamine (mesalamine). Common drug interactions include myopathy among females and escherichia urinary tract infection among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glucophage and Mesalamine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 28 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Glucophage?
Glucophage has active ingredients of metformin hydrochloride. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 60,851 Glucophage users. Check the latest studies of Glucophage.
What is Mesalamine?
Mesalamine has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in ulcerative colitis. eHealthMe is studying from 28,053 Mesalamine users. Check the latest studies of Mesalamine.
28 people who take Glucophage and Mesalamine together, and have interactions are studied.
