Summary
Angiotensin receptor blockers may modestly improve insulin sensitivity and enhance the glucose-lowering effect of antidiabetic drugs. Exenatide alone carries a low hypoglycemia risk, but the risk rises if combined with a sulfonylurea or insulin. The clinical effect is generally small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Eprosartan and Exenatide injectable have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
