Fenoglide Drug Interactions
If you take Fenoglide with medications such as statins, bile-acid sequestrants, or cyclosporine, drug interactions may occur. These interactions could increase your risk of certain problems (such as severe breakdown of muscle, kidney failure, or bleeding) or prevent Fenoglide from being absorbed into the body. To help prevent drug interactions with Fenoglide, make sure to tell your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking.
