Brief Answer:
only atorvastatin with omeprazole may interact

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

although they're commonly used together, omeprazole may cause increased levels of atorvastatin and thus increased rate of side effects. If you're taking both without any problems then this comment should not discourage you to continue doing so. If you're in doubt then the treating doctor is the best person to discuss it.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!


Brief Answer:
no problem with the rest of them

Detailed Answer:
You're welcome!
There is no interaction between most of the drugs except the two drugs I've mentioned. Don't worry too much about them though because they're very commonly used together and most patients experience no serious problems. Of course you've got to consult your doctor before attempting any changes to your regimen!

Kind Regards!
