Is it safe to take lipitor and bp meds together?



Lipitor is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels. Amlodipine is a medication used to lower blood pressure. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is safe to take amlodipine and atorvastatin together, but it is important to inform your doctor if you are taking both medications [3]. The combination of drugs that lower blood pressure and cholesterol could do more to prevent stroke, according to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Stroke [2]. However, it is always important to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you are taking multiple medications at the same time.
