Topiramate and Actos drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Topiramate (topiramate) and Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include weight decreased among females and chronic kidney disease among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Topiramate and Actos. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 58 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Topiramate?
Topiramate has active ingredients of topiramate. It is often used in migraine. eHealthMe is studying from 49,809 Topiramate users. Check the latest studies of Topiramate.
What is Actos?
Actos has active ingredients of pioglitazone hydrochloride. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 49,754 Actos users. Check the latest studies of Actos.
58 people who take Topiramate and Actos together, and have interactions are studied.
