Phentermine and Glucotrol drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Phentermine (phentermine hydrochloride) and Glucotrol (glipizide). Common drug interactions include respiratory distress among females and angina pectoris among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Phentermine and Glucotrol. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 25 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Phentermine?
Phentermine has active ingredients of phentermine hydrochloride. It is often used in weight loss. eHealthMe is studying from 19,870 Phentermine users. Check the latest studies of Phentermine.
What is Glucotrol?
Glucotrol has active ingredients of glipizide. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 20,322 Glucotrol users. Check the latest studies of Glucotrol.
25 people who take Phentermine and Glucotrol together, and have interactions are studied.

How the study uses the data?
The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on phentermine hydrochloride and glipizide (the active ingredients of Phentermine and Glucotrol, respectively), and Phentermine and Glucotrol (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
