Why this happens
This is an 'additive effect'. Because both products contain the same active ingredient, taking them at the same time is effectively a double dose, which can lead to toxicity over time.
What you should do

If you have been prescribed both by different doctors, please consult your pharmacist to ensure the total dose is safe for you.

Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Ibuprofen gel 10% and Shortec together?
Using ibuprofen gel alongside Shortec (oxycodone) is generally safe, but there is a small risk of increased side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach irritation if the ibuprofen is absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.
Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Clarithromycin and Rosuvastatin together?
Taking these two medicines together can significantly increase the amount of rosuvastatin in your blood. This increases the risk of serious muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis), which can lead to kidney problems. Symptoms to watch for include unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also feel generally unwell or have a fever.
