Micardis and Lopid drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Micardis (telmisartan) and Lopid (gemfibrozil). Common drug interactions include pain among females and cyclitis among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Micardis and Lopid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 31 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
