Insulin and Central nervous system lesion - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Central nervous system lesion is reported as a side effect among people who take Insulin (insulin pork), especially for people who are male, 30-39 old, also take Posaconazole, and have Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Central nervous system lesion when taking Insulin. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 49,622 people who have side effects when taking Insulin from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
