Hello,
There is no such interaction between Kombiglyze and bitter melon. The only thing to consider is hypoglycemia. Bitter melon can help reduce blood sugar levels. As you are taking Kombiglyze, both can have the same effect so more chance to get reduced blood sugar. There is no problem to take alongside other drugs too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Albana Sejdini
