Can I take Atorvastatin and Ramipril together?

Why this happens

Atorvastatin (a statin) and ramipril (an ACE inhibitor) work in different ways and are processed by different pathways in the body. They do not interfere with each other's absorption or metabolism.

What you should do

You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. It is often recommended to take atorvastatin in the evening and ramipril at the same time each day (often in the morning), but follow the specific timing instructions given by your healthcare provider.
