Why this happens
Alogliptin helps lower blood sugar, and some blood pressure medications like losartan can occasionally enhance this effect. Additionally, both drugs can affect a system in the body that regulates swelling, which may rarely lead to an allergic-type reaction.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood sugar levels more closely, especially when starting or changing doses. Seek immediate medical help if you notice any swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or if you have difficulty breathing.

Behandlung und Medikamente
Can I take Esomeprazole and Magnesium together?
Taking esomeprazole for a long time (usually more than three months) can lower the levels of magnesium in your blood. This can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle spasms, or an irregular heartbeat. Additionally, if you take magnesium as an antacid or supplement at the same time as esomeprazole, it might slightly interfere with how well the medicine is absorbed.

Behandlung und Medikamente
Can I take Ibuprofen gel 10% and Shortec together?
Using ibuprofen gel alongside Shortec (oxycodone) is generally safe, but there is a small risk of increased side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or stomach irritation if the ibuprofen is absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts.
