Januvia and Lucentis drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) and Lucentis (ranibizumab). Common drug interactions include dizziness among females and vision blurred among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Januvia and Lucentis. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 86 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
