Why this happens
Atorvastatin (a statin) and ramipril (an ACE inhibitor) work in different ways and are processed by different pathways in the body. They do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the system.
What you should do
You can safely take these medicines together as prescribed by your doctor. It is often recommended to take atorvastatin in the evening and ramipril at the same time each day (often in the morning), but follow the specific timing advice given by your healthcare professional.

Important precautions
Grossesse
You must not take ramipril if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant as it can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. Use effective contraception while taking this medicine.
Angioedema (Swelling)
Seek emergency medical help if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, as this medicine can cause a severe allergic reaction that restricts breathing.
Food and drink warnings
Alcool
Drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking a statin can increase your risk of liver problems and muscle side effects. It is best to keep within the recommended weekly limits.
Salt substitutes (Potassium-based)
Ramipril can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Using salt substitutes that contain potassium (such as Lo-Salt) can cause your potassium levels to become dangerously high.
