Brief Answer:
there is some slight bad effect

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Thanks for the query.
Well all these drugs may have some slightly effect on kidney or liver function but usually this is not anything significant if taken in recommended dosage. However, it is always advisable to use as low medicines as possible including those with sedative effect. Combination of these three is sometimes used but just for smaller period so try to stop at least one of these till your kidneys findings stabilize. Wish you good health. Regards
