Why this happens
Aciclovir is primarily removed from the body by the kidneys. Gly-Coramin contains nikethamide (a stimulant) and glucose. While they do not directly interfere with each other's metabolism, maintaining good hydration is important when taking aciclovir to prevent it from crystallising in the kidneys.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these together. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your kidneys process the aciclovir. If you have a history of kidney problems, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting aciclovir.

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.
