I don't know anything about the meds in question, BUT I know the online drug interaction checkers are very sensitive. More than once someone in my family was on a combo that was supposedly dangerous, but when we asked the MD and the pharmacist they said it would only be possible at extremely high doses of the meds in question.

This is what we do in my family: ask doc specifically when it is rx'd, then check interaction checker, if it raises a concern, ask pharmacist, and follow up with doc if still concerned. Also, it is best to fill all rx at the same pharmacy because then they can flag your order if you are rx'd 2 interacting meds at the same time. This happened to me once (but I had discontinued the 1st med already.)

Best,
