Puis-je prendre Alogliptine et Atorvastatine ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Alogliptin and atorvastatin are processed by different pathways in the body. Alogliptin is primarily removed by the kidneys, while atorvastatin is broken down by specific enzymes in the liver (CYP3A4). Because they do not compete for the same 'processing machinery,' they do not interfere with each other's levels in the blood.

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication for diabetes and cholesterol, you should continue to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and report any unusual muscle pain or weakness to your healthcare provider.

Grossesse

You must not take atorvastatine if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can harm the developing baby. Use effective contraception while taking it.

Muscle disorders - atorvastatine

Seek immediate medical advice if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. In rare cases, this can lead to serious kidney problems.

Pancréatite

Stop taking alogliptine and contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe and persistent stomach pain, which may reach through to your back, as this can be a sign of an inflamed pancreas.

Jus de pamplemousse

Grapefruit juice can increase the level of atorvastatin in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects like muscle pain or damage. Avoid drinking large amounts (more than 1.2 litres daily), but a small glass is usually safe.

Alcool

Drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking atorvastatin can increase your risk of liver problems. It is best to keep your intake within the recommended limits (no more than 14 units per week).
