Can I take 5/40mg and Rosuvastatin together?

Why this happens

Amlodipine can interfere with the way your body processes rosuvastatin. It may slow down the transport and breakdown of the statin, leading to higher levels of the medicine staying in your system for longer.

You can usually take these medicines together, but you should be aware of the increased risk of muscle problems. If you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness—especially if you also feel generally unwell or have a fever—contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may want to monitor you more closely or adjust your dose.
