Apidra and Transient ischaemic attack - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Transient ischaemic attack is reported as a side effect among people who take Apidra (insulin glulisine recombinant), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Lantus, and have Atrial fibrillation/flutter.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Transient ischaemic attack when taking Apidra. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 10,479 people who have side effects when taking Apidra from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Apidra?

Apidra has active ingredients of insulin glulisine recombinant. It is often used in diabetes. eHealthMe is studying from 10,548 Apidra users. Check the latest studies of Apidra.
