Can Lipitor be taken with Nexium?

Question

Also, does anyone actually have POSITIVE experience with Lipitor?

Answer 1

First, an answer to your question: "The PDR Pocket Guide To Prescription Drugs" doesn't list anything indicating that they can't be taken together, but check with your doctor. Secondly, I was urged to take Lipitor, but can't. Thirdly--- and I'm NOT going against your doctor's advice when I tell you this--- It comes from the book I just told you about. Your doctor will confirm the information: Special warnings about this medication: " There is a slight chance of liver damage from Lipitor, so your doctor may order a blood test to check your liver function before you start taking the drug, again 12 weeks after you begin therapy or your dosage is increased, and every 6 months thereafter. If the tests reveal a problem, you may have to stop using the drug.
Drugs like Lipitor have occassionally been known to damage muscle tissue, so be sure to tell
your doctor immediately if you notice any unexplained muscle tenderness, weakness,or pain,especially if you also have a fever or feel sick. Your doctor may also want to do a blood test to check for signs of muscle damage."

Answer 5

This is a serious question. I would highly recommend that you call your pharmacist, or any pharmacist, and ask them. They are trained to know which medicines are safe, as well as effective, to combine; and which are not.
Good luck.
