Glucovance and Spiriva drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Glucovance (glyburide; metformin hydrochloride) and Spiriva (tiotropium bromide monohydrate). Common drug interactions include hyponatraemia among females and cardiac failure congestive among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Glucovance and Spiriva. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 62 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
