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

AztaCap Soft Capsule and Astaxanthin + Vitamin E + Vitamin C contain the same medicine

Double dose risk

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

1 interaction

AztaCap Soft Capsule Astaxanthin Astaxanthin + Vitamin E + Vitamin C

Major

Astaxanthin may interact with finasteride, dutasteride and immunosuppressant medicines. Cholestyramine, colestipol, mineral oil and orlistat can reduce how much of it your body absorbs. Vitamin E taken with anticoagulants may raise the risk of bleeding. Vitamin C may change the effects of amygdalin, indinavir, antacids and aspirin.

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.
