K-tab and Januvia drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take K-tab (potassium chloride) and Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate). Common drug interactions include asthenia among females and abdominal pain upper among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take K-tab and Januvia. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
