Prometrium and Glucophage drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Prometrium (progesterone) and Glucophage (metformin hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include pain in extremity among females and ectopic kidney among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Prometrium and Glucophage. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 53 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
