Statins and Antibiotics

Very important – If you are taking statins, avoid  antibiotics like erythromycin and chlarithromycin. Both can increase the concentration of statin in your blood stream, leading to muscle or kidney damage, possibly death. If you need an antibiotic, use azithromycin instead. From WebMD
