Metrogel and Lantus drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Metrogel (metronidazole) and Lantus (insulin glargine recombinant). Common drug interactions include mental disorder among females and fatigue among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Metrogel and Lantus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
