Can I take Atorvastatin and Furosemide together?

Why this happens

These drugs work in different ways and are processed by different pathways in the body. Atorvastatin works in the liver to lower cholesterol, while furosemide works in the kidneys to remove excess fluid. They do not significantly change how the other is absorbed or cleared from the system.

What you should do

You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed. Ensure you attend your regular blood tests to check your cholesterol, liver function, and kidney health. If you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, contact your doctor.
