Kann ich Atorvastatin und Omeprazol zusammen einnehmen?

It is generally considered safe to take Atorvastatin und Omeprazol together, but with caution, as omeprazole may increase blood levels of atorvastatin.

It is often helpful to take your atorvastatin at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in your body.

Warum das passiert

Omeprazole can affect the way the body breaks down atorvastatin by interfering with certain enzymes in the liver (CYP3A4) and transport proteins. It also changes the acidity of the stomach, which can slightly alter how much of the statin is absorbed into the bloodstream.

You may be experiencing an interaction between atorvastatin and omeprazole if:

• You develop new or worsening muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

• Sie fühlen sich ungewöhnlich müde oder schwach ohne klaren Grund.

• You notice dark-coloured pee (urine).

• You experience unexplained muscle cramps.

• Blood tests show raised muscle enzymes (CK levels) or changes in liver function.

• Symptoms start soon after starting or changing the dose of either medicine.

Serious interactions are uncommon, but always speak to a doctor or pharmacist if you notice new or worrying symptoms while taking both medicines.

Wenn Sie eines der oben genannten Symptome haben, sollten Sie:

• Kontaktieren Sie so schnell wie möglich Ihren Hausarzt oder Apotheker für eine Beratung.

• Do not stop taking your medicines suddenly unless advised by a healthcare professional

• Seek urgent medical help if muscle pain is severe, widespread, or worsening

• Get medical advice immediately if you notice dark urine or severe weakness

• Tell your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements you are taking

• Attend any blood tests arranged to check muscle or liver health

Schwangerschaft

Sie dürfen Atorvastatin nicht einnehmen, wenn Sie schwanger sind oder planen, schwanger zu werden, da es dem sich entwickelnden Baby schaden kann. Verwenden Sie während der Einnahme eine wirksame Verhütungsmethode.

Muscle pain or weakness - atorvastatin

Report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness to your doctor immediately. In rare cases, this can lead to serious kidney problems.

Severe or persistent diarrhoea

Contact your doctor if you develop severe or watery diarrhoea that does not stop, as omeprazole can increase the risk of a serious bowel infection called C. difficile.

Grapefruitsaft

Grapefruit juice can increase the level of atorvastatin in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects like muscle pain. Avoid drinking large amounts (more than 1.2 litres a day), though a small glass is usually fine.

Alkohol

Drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking atorvastatin can increase the risk of liver problems. It is best to keep your intake within the recommended limits.
