Why this happens
Amitriptyline is an antidepressant that affects brain chemicals, while atorvastatin is a statin that lowers cholesterol in the liver. They are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or safety.
What you should do
You can continue taking both medicines as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication, if you notice any unusual side effects like unexplained muscle pain (from the statin) or extreme drowsiness (from the antidepressant), you should mention them to your GP at your next appointment.

Can I take Ciprofloxacin and Doxycycline together?
Taking ciprofloxacin and doxycycline together may slightly increase the risk of side effects, such as skin sensitivity to sunlight or digestive upset. There is also a theoretical possibility that they could interfere with each other's ability to kill bacteria, though they are sometimes prescribed together for specific complex infections.

Can I take Calcium and Doxycycline together?
Taking calcium at the same time as doxycycline can stop the antibiotic from working properly. The calcium attaches to the medicine in your stomach, which prevents your body from absorbing it into your bloodstream. This means the infection you are treating might not clear up as it should.
