Atorvastatin
Interactions with other medications: Atorvastatin can interact with certain medications such as cyclosporine, erythromycin, ketoconazole, and protease inhibitors. These medications can inhibit the breakdown of atorvastatin in the body and lead to increased blood levels of the statin, which can increase the risk of side effects. It is important to inform the treating doctor about all medications taken to avoid potential interactions.
Lovastatin
Interactions with other medications: Lovastatin can interact with medications such as cyclosporine, erythromycin, clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, danazol, and protease inhibitors. These medications can inhibit the breakdown of lovastatin and lead to increased blood levels of the statin, which can increase the risk of side effects. It is important to inform the treating doctor about all medications taken to avoid potential interactions.
Simvastatin
Interactions with other medications: Simvastatin can interact with medications such as cyclosporine, erythromycin, clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, danazol, amiodarone, and verapamil. These medications can inhibit the breakdown of simvastatin and lead to increased blood levels of the statin, which can increase the risk of side effects. It is important to inform the treating doctor about all medications taken to avoid potential interactions.
