Can I take Amlodipine and Rosuvastatin together?

Why this happens

Amlodipine can slightly interfere with the way the body processes certain statins, potentially leading to a small increase in the level of rosuvastatin in your bloodstream. This increases the chance of side effects affecting the muscles.

You can usually take these medicines together. However, you should inform your doctor if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also feel generally unwell or have a fever. Your doctor will monitor your progress and may adjust your dose if necessary.
