A member asked:
Can i take biaxin (clarithromycin) and simvastatin together or keflex and simvastatin, i have a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keflex: Keflex is much safer - it has no interaction with simvastatin. Biaxin (clarithromycin) is contraindicated. If you take biaxin, (clarithromycin) you must temporarily stop simvastatin.
