Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
These 2 drugs have major interaction with each other. It should not be a problem though, if your wife is taking them in the dose prescribed by her doctor, even if sometimes they happen to fall in the same time when she should take them. Also, she should not drink alcohol or exceed the doses or frequency and duration of use prescribed by her doctor. She should avoid driving. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications she uses, including vitamins and herbs. And, very important, do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Klarida Papaqako
