Hi Puba,

I haven't come across any specific details notating that you can't use nitrofurantoin with statin medication. However Walgreens' drug monograph for nitrofurantoin strongly advises against taking any type of antacid that contains "magnesium trisilicate" with it. From what I've read, apparently the magnesium can impact how well nitrofurantoin is absorbed. Their statement goes on to mention that you should double check with a pharmacist in order to ensure whether or not a particular antacid has this ingredient prior to purchasing.

Did your doctor recommend that all three types of medications be taken together?

Thank yiu. No my doctor did not mention taking all 3 together. I do have acid
reflux and found when starting this medication it intensified. Will check with
my pharmacist.
