Why this happens
Atorvastatin (a statin) and ramipril (an ACE inhibitor) work through different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed or broken down. While they don't interact directly, both drugs can have minor effects on the kidneys, which is why routine monitoring is standard practice.
What you should do
You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed. Ensure you attend your scheduled blood tests (usually once or twice a year) to check your kidney function and cholesterol levels. If you develop unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, contact your doctor.
