?? "minasage": I am not aware of a medication with that name, and you should check the spelling on the label.  It is critical that both of your doctors know all the medications the other is prescribing, and that they communicate on some regular basis.  There are no serious interactions between these meds (again ? What minasage is), but it depends on dose and other factors.
