Tecfidera and Amaryl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) and Amaryl (glimepiride). Common drug interactions include drug ineffective among females and gait disturbance among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Tecfidera and Amaryl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 40 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
