Patient picks for Drug interactions

Treatment and medication
Can I take 150 and Zigduo together?
Taking aspirin (75mg to 150mg) with Xigduo (which contains dapagliflozin and metformin) can increase the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low (hypoglycaemia). It may also increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, where too much acid builds up in your blood.

Treatment and medication
Can I take Atorvastatin and Magnesium together?
Taking magnesium antacids at the same time as atorvastatin can lower the amount of the statin medicine that your body absorbs. This might make your cholesterol treatment less effective.
