Can I take Atocor and Lanol together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Atocor (atorvastatin) works in the liver to lower cholesterol production. Lanol (atenolol) works by blocking certain receptors in the heart to slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure. They do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the body.

You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to continue regular blood pressure checks and cholesterol tests as advised. If you experience unusual muscle pain or extreme tiredness, inform your doctor.

Grossesse

You must not take this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. Use effective contraception while taking it.

Douleur musculaire inexpliquée

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. In rare cases, this can lead to serious kidney problems.

Asthme ou BPCO

Do not take this medicine if you have a history of asthma, wheezing, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it can cause severe breathing difficulties.

Jus de pamplemousse

Grapefruit juice can increase the level of Atocor in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects such as muscle pain or damage. Avoid drinking large quantities (more than 1.2 litres daily), though it is safest to avoid it altogether.

Alcool

Drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking Atocor can increase the risk of liver problems. For Lanol, alcohol can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effect, which may make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. It is best to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits.
