Joint Assurance is a supplement that typically contains glucosamine and chondroitin. There is no evidence that these ingredients interfere with how atorvastatin works or how it is processed by your body. However, some people taking statins like atorvastatin report muscle aches, and very rarely, glucosamine might also cause mild muscle or joint discomfort in some individuals.

Viktiga försiktighetsåtgärder
Tillbaka till innehållGraviditet
You must not take atorvastatin if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. Use effective contraception while taking this medicine.
Muscle disorders - atorvastatin
Seek immediate medical advice if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. In rare cases, this can lead to a serious condition called rhabdomyolysis which causes kidney damage.
Shellfish allergy
Many joint supplements are derived from shellfish. Do not take Joint Assurance if you have a shellfish allergy, as it may cause a severe allergic reaction.
Varningar för mat och dryck
Tillbaka till innehållGrapefruit juice
Grapefruit juice contains compounds that can increase the level of atorvastatin in your blood. This may increase your risk of side effects, such as muscle pain or damage. Avoid drinking large quantities (more than 1.2 litres per day), though it is safest to avoid it altogether or keep intake to very small amounts.
Alkohol
While alcohol does not directly interact with atorvastatin, drinking large amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of liver problems and muscle side effects. It is best to keep your intake within the recommended limits (no more than 14 units per week).
