MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking atorvastatin and levofloxacin together may increase your risk of muscle problems, including serious muscle damage. This happens because levofloxacin can raise the amount of atorvastatin in your body to unsafe levels.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these medications together. Do not stop either drug on your own. Your doctor may monitor you more closely, adjust your doses, or choose different medications for you.
