MILD

Interaction Found

Amoxicillin (an antibiotic) and pravastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can be taken together safely. However, pravastatin may work differently in your body when combined with certain other medicines. This could rarely cause muscle pain or weakness.

What to do: Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, especially other cholesterol drugs. Don't stop taking either medicine. Your doctor may adjust your pravastatin dose if needed.
