Can I take Colecalciferol and Evolocumab together?

Varför detta händer

Colecalciferol is a vitamin used to maintain bone health and calcium levels, while evolocumab is a monoclonal antibody used to lower cholesterol by acting on a specific protein in the liver (PCSK9).

You can safely take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to change the timing of your doses or take any special precautions when using them together. Always ensure your doctor is aware of all supplements you are taking, including Vitamin D.
