Can I take Atorvastatin and Losartin together?

Why this happens

Atorvastatin and losartan are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the body absorbs or removes each other. They also work on different systems (cholesterol vs. blood pressure) without causing harmful additive effects.

What you should do

You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually best to take them at the same time each day to help you remember. Always inform your doctor if you experience unusual muscle pain or weakness, which is a rare side effect of statins, but this is not caused by taking losartan.
