Can Medicines For Diabetes And Aspirin Be Taken In Combination?

I am prescribed Metformin ER 500 mg (2,500 mg total daily intake, 2 in morning 3 in afternoon) for diabetes, Effexor 75 mg, Simvastatin 20 mg, Ambien 10 mg, Women s 50+ multivatamin, Super B-Comlex vitamin, 500+D Oscal and I take a baby aspirin every day. Can I combine this medication when I take them or should certain drugs not be mixed? My last cholesterol check this January was 83. Is 2,500 mg. per day considered excessive?

Hi,

Metformin, simvastatin, multivitamin and ambien 10 mg can be taken together and do not cause any major interactions. You can take these drugs without any issues. Effexor 75 mg and aspirin may have some interactions when taken together.Risk of bleeding may be increased when these drugs are taken together.

Always use low dose aspirin which is 75mg and discuss with your doctor before increasing any drug dose and monitor any adverse effects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
