Can I take Atorvastatin and Lansoprazole together?

Why this happens

Lansoprazole reduces stomach acid, but this does not significantly change how atorvastatin is absorbed or processed by the liver. They are broken down by different pathways in the body.

What you should do

You can safely take these medicines together. You do not need to change the timing of your doses unless your doctor has given you specific instructions. Always follow the dosage on your prescription labels.
