My mom takes Atorvastatin(20mg). She is been on Atorvastatin for past 3 years and her cholesterol level are slightly above the safe level. She recently develop some fungal infection on her foot and the skin specialist prescribed her fluconazole. My mom took it for 2 week. I recently came across bunch of very concerning articles that says azole antifungals and statins should not be taken together. Is it not generally prescribed together ? Should I run some tests on her to find if there are any side effects ?
