Hi there is no potential interaction between these two medications.
major side effect of lipikind is elevated liver enzymes and muscle pains, do get your liver enzymes checked frequently.
little bit of fatigue and flu like chest congestion can also occur with lipikind, although it is not very common or serious and should settle down in 2-3 days, if not please consult your doctor.
Thanks.
