Can I take Astovastin and Felodapine together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both atorvastatin and felodipine are processed by the same enzyme in the liver (CYP3A4). Because they are 'competing' for the same enzyme, the body may break down atorvastatin more slowly, leading to higher levels in the bloodstream. There is also a combined effect on blood vessel relaxation.

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should be aware of any new or unusual muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. If you experience these symptoms, or if you feel very dizzy when standing up, contact your doctor. Your doctor may want to monitor your cholesterol levels or adjust your dose if necessary.
