Trileptal and Actos drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) and Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among females and neuropathy peripheral among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Trileptal and Actos. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 67 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
