Why this happens
Aspirin works by making the blood less 'sticky' (antiplatelet), while atorvastatin works by lowering cholesterol in the liver. Because they work in completely different ways and are processed by different pathways in the body, they do not interfere with each other.
What you should do
You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually recommended to take atorvastatin in the evening, while aspirin is often taken after a meal to protect your stomach.

Can I take Aspirin and Nustendi together?
Taking aspirin with Nustendi (which contains bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) may slightly increase the levels of bempedoic acid in your blood. Additionally, if you are taking high doses of aspirin (over 325mg daily), there is a theoretical risk that it could interfere with how bempedoic acid works to lower your cholesterol.

Can I take Fluoxetine and Tramadol together?
Taking these two medicines together can lead to a rare but very serious condition called 'serotonin syndrome'. This happens when there is too much of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. Symptoms can include feeling very agitated, confused, or shaky, as well as sweating, a fast heartbeat, muscle stiffness, or diarrhoea. In extreme cases, it can cause seizures. Additionally, fluoxetine can make tramadol less effective at relieving your pain.
