Kann ich Atorvastatin und Losartan zusammen einnehmen?

You can take Atorvastatin und Losartan together as they do not interact with each other.

Atorvastatin and losartan are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the body absorbs or removes each other.

They also work on different systems (cholesterol vs. blood pressure) without causing harmful additive effects.

How to take atorvastatin and losartan safely

• Take them at the same time each day to help you remember.

• Always inform your doctor if you experience unusual muscle pain or weakness, which is a rare side effect of Statine, but this is not caused by taking losartan.

Schwangerschaft

You must not take these medicines if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as they can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. Use effective contraception while taking these medicines.

Muscle disorders - atorvastatin

Suchen Sie umgehend ärztlichen Rat, wenn Sie unerklärliche Muskelschmerzen, Empfindlichkeit oder Schwäche verspüren. In seltenen Fällen kann dies zu einer ernsthaften Erkrankung namens Rhabdomyolyse führen, die Nierenschäden verursacht.

Grapefruitsaft

Grapefruit juice contains compounds that can increase the level of atorvastatin in your blood. This may increase your risk of side effects, such as muscle pain or damage.

Avoid drinking large quantities (more than 1.2 litres per day), though it is safest to avoid it altogether or keep intake to very small amounts.

Alkohol

While there is no direct 'chemical' interaction, both medicines can affect the liver or lower blood pressure.

Drinking alcohol while taking losartan can increase the medicine's blood-pressure-lowering effect, making you feel dizzy or lightheaded.

For atorvastatin, heavy drinking increases the risk of liver problems. It is advised to keep within the recommended weekly limits.

Salt substitutes

Losartan can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Many 'low-sodium' salt substitutes use potassium chloride instead of sodium.

Using these while taking losartan can lead to dangerously high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia). Check labels on salt substitutes and consult your pharmacist.
