Can Taking Any Or Combination Of Atorvastatin, Armour, Sertraline Cause Weightgain Or Any Other Side Effects?
My primary care physician has me on Atorvastatin for high cholesterol, Armour Thyroid for under-active thyroid, Sertraline (Zoloft) to produce or release more serotonin. She just started me on Lisinopril for hypertension. Can any or a combination of any of these drugs prevent me from losing weight, cause me to gain weight, or cause bad interactions among any of them? Thank you! Debbie O.

Hi Debbie,
Of the medicines you are taking, sertraline is the one that is likely to promote a weight gain. The other medicines are unlikely to cause any weight gain and there is no risk of any drug interactions that may harm you. Your under active thyroid may also be implicated in your weight gain and so, the thyroid hormone supplement will help you lose weight.
Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
