Sudafed and Byetta drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Sudafed (pseudoephedrine hydrochloride) and Byetta (exenatide synthetic). Common drug interactions include injection site mass among females and weight decreased among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Sudafed and Byetta. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
