Detailed Answer:
thank you for sending the question. This is an excellent question.

There is actually a small interaction with each of these medications taken together. It is possible that there may be some degree of sedation if both of these medications are taken at the same time.

Dosage of coarse will play a role in this type of interaction. I would use caution if taking each of these medications.

Please discuss medication management with your primary physician.

Thank you again for sending your question. Please let us know if you have any additional specific concerns.
