Can I take Furosemide and Rosuvastatin together?

Por qué sucede esto

Both furosemide and rosuvastatin can independently affect the muscles. Furosemide can cause changes in your body's salt and fluid levels (electrolytes), which can make muscles more vulnerable. Additionally, some studies suggest that furosemide might slightly increase the levels of rosuvastatin in your blood by competing for the same transport proteins in the body, though this effect is usually mild.

You can usually take these medicines together, but you should be vigilant. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or feel generally unwell. Your doctor may want to monitor your kidney function and salt levels (via blood tests) more closely.
