Your medicines

Serious interaction found

At least one pair of your medicines should not be taken together without a doctor's advice. Read the details below and talk to your doctor or pharmacist before your next dose.

1 Major 1 duplicate 1 pair checked

Nexterol and Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe contain the same medicine

Double dose risk

Both contain Bempedoic Acid. Taking them together could mean a double dose. Do not take both unless your doctor or pharmacist has said it is OK.

1 interaction

Nexterol Bempedoic Acid Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe

Major

Do not take Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe together with simvastatin at doses above 20 mg. Also avoid taking it with pravastatin at doses above 40 mg. If you already take either of these statins, check the dose with your doctor or pharmacist before you start this medicine.

What should I do?

These medicines can affect each other in a serious way. Do not start taking them together unless your doctor has said it is OK. If you already take both, do not stop either one on your own: speak to your doctor or pharmacist soon.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
