Taking Cozaar, Atenolol And Lipitor

My MD recently lowered my atenolol to 25 mg daily and losartan 25 mg daily, but added Lipitor 1 hs. due to my dizziness and lightheadness. pressure seems fine, but still feeling dizzy, can I take both all 3 at bedtime

REPORT

Why was the Lipitor added? The FDA classifies it as a statin medication that is used to lower cholesterol.

It is very well known to cause side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, headache and joint/muscle aches, so it's very doubtful that it will improve anything.

Generally, it is best to take the blood pressure medications, Lisinopril and Losartan in the morning, so they can help control your blood pressure during the times of day you'll be most active.

The Lipitor, however, can be taken any time, unless your doctor specifies otherwise.

sorry my question was not clear, of course the Lipitor was added for cholesterol control my only question is it safe to take all 3 at same time, since my pressures seem under good control and if I take both pressure meds at night I am not dizzy during day

Yes, these are often prescribed together and if you've been doing well taking them at night. with your doctor's awareness, then there's no reason to change that, either.

I actually split the doses of my blood pressure medications, with my cardiologist's approval, so that I take them in the morning and at night for better control.
