Lantus and Fluid overload - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Fluid overload is reported as a side effect among people who take Lantus (insulin glargine recombinant), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Lasix, and have Primary pulmonary hypertension.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Fluid overload when taking Lantus. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 190,478 people who have side effects when taking Lantus from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
