Can I take Bisoprolol and Simvastatin together?

Why this happens

Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker used for heart rate and blood pressure, while simvastatin is a statin used for cholesterol. They are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed or removed from the body.

What you should do

You can safely take these two medicines together. It is a very common combination for heart health. If you experience unusual muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (which can be a side effect of simvastatin), or extreme tiredness, mention it to your doctor at your next check-up.
