Janumet and Somavert drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Janumet (metformin hydrochloride; sitagliptin phosphate) and Somavert (pegvisomant). Common drug interactions include blood glucose increased among females and weight decreased among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Janumet and Somavert. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 27 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
