Sinemet and Insulin drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sinemet (carbidopa; levodopa) and Insulin (insulin pork). Common drug interactions include dyskinesia among females and nightmare among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sinemet and Insulin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 83 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Sinemet?
Sinemet has active ingredients of carbidopa; levodopa. It is often used in parkinson's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 29,601 Sinemet users. Check the latest studies of Sinemet.
What is Insulin?
Insulin has active ingredients of insulin pork. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 50,203 Insulin users. Check the latest studies of Insulin.
83 people who take Sinemet and Insulin together, and have interactions are studied.
