Can Benlysta Be Taken While On Metformin, Lisinopril And Prednisone?

I will be starting on Benlysta next week for SLE. I take several other medications, glipizide, metformin, lisinopril/hctz, Prednisone ( 1-20 mg tablet daily), Zoloft, gabapentin, pravastatin, Coumadin, and 600 mg calcium with vitamin D. Would any of these medications cause any interaction with the Benlysta?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Benlysta is having belimumab.
It is monoclonal antibody used for SLE.
It is very safe and non toxic drug.
It has no drug interactions with your current drugs.
So no need to worry for drug interactions with Benlysta.
