Novolog and Excedrin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Novolog (insulin aspart recombinant) and Excedrin (acetaminophen; aspirin; caffeine). Common drug interactions include weight increased among females and blood glucose decreased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Novolog and Excedrin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 59 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
