Can lipitor and bp meds be taken separately?



Lipitor (atorvastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels, while BP meds are used to lower blood pressure. According to the sources provided, there are no known interactions between Lipitor and amlodipine, which is a common BP medication [2]. Therefore, it is safe to take Lipitor and BP meds separately. However, it is important to note that combining drugs that lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels could be more effective in preventing strokes [3]. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medications.
