Caduet Drug Interactions

If statins, spironolactone, digoxin, or certain antibiotics are taken with Caduet, drug interactions may occur. These interactions can increase your risk for potentially serious side effects (such as muscle problems or problems associated with low hormone levels) or decrease the medications' effectiveness. If Caduet drug interactions are a concern, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely or adjust your dosages.
