Can I take Colecalciferol and Ezetimibe together?

Por que isso acontece

Ezetimibe works by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. While it affects how the body handles certain fats, studies have shown it does not significantly interfere with the absorption or effectiveness of fat-soluble vitamins like colecalciferol. Similarly, colecalciferol does not change how ezetimibe is processed or cleared by the body.

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. No special precautions or timing adjustments are necessary for this specific combination.

Hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium)

Do not take colecalciferol if you have high levels of calcium in your blood or urine, or if you have severe kidney stones, as vitamin D increases calcium absorption and can worsen these conditions.

Doença hepática

You must not take ezetimibe if you have moderate or severe liver disease, as it can worsen your condition. If you develop unexplained yellowing of the skin or eyes, contact your doctor immediately.

Muscle pain or weakness - ezetimibe

If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you are also taking a statin, contact your doctor immediately. This can be a sign of a rare but serious muscle breakdown.

Álcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking colecalciferol. Long-term heavy alcohol use can interfere with how your body absorbs and processes Vitamin D, making the treatment less effective.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking ezetimibe. Both alcohol and ezetimibe can affect your liver; combining them may increase the risk of liver damage or inflammation. If you have a history of liver disease, you should be particularly cautious.

High-fat meals

Colecalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is best absorbed by your body when taken with a meal that contains some fat (such as eggs, avocado, nuts, or dairy).
