Can I take Atorvastatin and Mirabegron astellas together?

Why this happens

Mirabegron can slightly interfere with a protein (CYP3A4) and a transporter (P-gp) that the body uses to break down and remove atorvastatin. This means the atorvastatin stays in your system a bit longer than usual.

What you should do

You can usually take these together, but you should be aware of any new or unusual muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. If you notice these symptoms, or if you experience dark-coloured urine, contact your doctor. Your doctor may want to monitor you more closely when you first start taking them together or if your dose is increased.
