Januvia and Azor drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) and Azor (amlodipine besylate; olmesartan medoxomil). Common drug interactions include blood glucose increased among females and renal failure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Januvia and Azor. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 48 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Januvia?
Januvia has active ingredients of sitagliptin phosphate. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 72,818 Januvia users. Check the latest studies of Januvia.
What is Azor?
Azor has active ingredients of amlodipine besylate; olmesartan medoxomil. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 3,922 Azor users. Check the latest studies of Azor.
48 people who take Januvia and Azor together, and have interactions are studied.
