Levemir and Lotrel drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Levemir (insulin detemir recombinant) and Lotrel (amlodipine besylate; benazepril hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include headache among females and balance disorder among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Levemir and Lotrel. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 30 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
