Zide and Inspra drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zide (hydrochlorothiazide) and Inspra (eplerenone). Common drug interactions include urinary tract infection among females and anhedonia among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zide and Inspra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 77 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Zide?
Zide has active ingredients of hydrochlorothiazide. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 183,246 Zide users. Check the latest studies of Zide.
What is Inspra?
Inspra has active ingredients of eplerenone. It is often used in high blood pressure. eHealthMe is studying from 3,510 Inspra users. Check the latest studies of Inspra.
77 people who take Zide and Inspra together, and have interactions are studied.
