Can I take Paracetamol and Rosuvastatin together?

Perché succede

Paracetamol and rosuvastatin are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the body absorbs, breaks down, or removes either drug.

You can take paracetamol while you are on rosuvastatin. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packet for paracetamol and do not exceed the maximum daily dose. If you experience unusual muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking rosuvastatin, you should contact your doctor, regardless of whether you are taking paracetamol.

Gravidanza

You must not take this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it may harm the unborn baby. Use effective contraception while taking it.

Liver disease or chronic alcohol use

Taking more than the recommended dose can cause fatal liver damage. Do not take any other products containing paracetamol at the same time.

Unexplained muscle pain

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, as this can rarely lead to serious kidney problems.

Alcol

Drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking rosuvastatin can increase your risk of developing serious liver problems. It is best to avoid excessive drinking (binge drinking) and stay within the recommended weekly limits.

Succo di pompelmo

Unlike some other statins, rosuvastatin is not significantly affected by grapefruit juice. You can consume it in normal amounts, though it is always best to avoid drinking very large quantities (more than a litre a day).
