Dear Dr. I have a bad neck condition: p had a fusion and prosthesis implanted above the fusion. The prosthesis has "collapsed" causing pain. I'm on Nuzak 40mg mornings plus E|pitec 10mg at night. I have trouble sleeping. I'm also taking blood pressure & cholesterol medication. Could there be an interaction between the medication? ## Hello, Elize! How are you? Can you please post back with the names of all of the medications you take, so I can check for you? I can't check just by knowing the grouping. Thank you! ## Can i take carbilev 25/100 with nuzzak? ## Sorry i said nuzzak, should be nuzak
