Por qué sucede esto

Both medications can affect the central nervous system, leading to an 'additive' effect on sleepiness. Additionally, both drugs can independently cause the body to hold onto extra fluid, which may increase the risk of swelling (oedema).

It is generally safe to take these together if prescribed by your doctor, but you should be cautious. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the combination affects you. If you notice significant swelling in your ankles or hands, or if you feel unusually dizzy, contact your GP.
