Lexiscan and Metformin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lexiscan (regadenoson) and Metformin (metformin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include myocardial infarction among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lexiscan and Metformin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 76 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
