At the outset, it should be noted that the medicines mentioned in the question are prescription-only, so the legitimacy and need for their simultaneous use should be determined by the doctor. So please follow your doctor's instructions. As a pharmacist, I can only give you general information:
According to the current medical literature, there should be no interactions between the two preparations that are harmful to health or the effects of drugs. However, it is better to spread the use of the preparations over time, so as not to overload the liver by metabolizing drugs at the same time.
Keep in mind that the more medications you take, the greater the risk of adverse interactions. Taking two medications at the same time poses a risk of adverse interactions of 13-14 percent. If a patient takes 8 to 10 medications at the same time, it is almost certain that there will be interactions between them and that there will be interactions that negatively affect the patient's health. This problem is especially true for the elderly, who are being treated for several diseases at the same time.
I've included additional information that you may find helpful:
