no known interactions

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no known interaction between these agents so they can be used safely together.

There is a risk of interaction with other medications so if you are using any other medications these should be checked as well.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
