I checked, and sure enough, there are multiple credible medical sites recommending against it.
Sorry you found out the hard way.
My dad had a similar experience. He was on a heart med & an oral diabetes medicine.
The diabetes got worse & je had a heart attack anyway. Bad enough that he needed quadruple bypass.
5 or 6 years after the heart attack & surgery, a study came out showing that if one was on both meds neither worked well. In fact, they were close to doing nothing at all.
Even the doctors didn't know. I always wondered how many people had the same outcome as my dad before they made the connection.
