My new doctor wants me to begin taking MetoProlol, 25 mg and Liptor 10 mg. I am already taking Losartan, 50 mg. I am nervous about taking these drugs. The doctor was very hesitant about starting me on the MetoProlo and I sensed this. Now I am not so sure I really need this drug or the Lipitor for that matter.
