Precose and Glucophage drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Precose (acarbose) and Glucophage (metformin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include weight increased among females and myocardial infarction among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Precose and Glucophage. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 266 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
