Can I take Atorvastatin and Co-codamol together?

Por qué sucede esto

Atorvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medicine (statin) processed mainly by a specific liver enzyme (CYP3A4). Co-codamol is a combination of paracetamol and codeine. Paracetamol and codeine are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how atorvastatin works or how it is cleared from the body.

You can take these medicines together as prescribed. However, always be mindful of the side effects of each. If you experience unusual muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (potential side effects of atorvastatin) or extreme drowsiness and constipation (potential side effects of co-codamol), speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
