Can I take Lipitor and Migraleve pink together?

Why this happens

Both atorvastatin and codeine are processed by the same enzymes in the liver (specifically CYP3A4). Because they are 'competing' for the same processing pathway, the breakdown of the statin can be slowed down, leading to higher levels in the body.

You can take these together, but you should be cautious. If you need to take Migraleve Pink for more than a couple of days, or if you notice any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, stop taking the Migraleve and speak to your GP. Always stick to the recommended dose on the Migraleve packaging.
