Dear patient,

Thanks for the query; all appear to be correct dosages, except the metoprolol, which comes in 25 mg increments, so probably your dose is 100 instead of 95. That is the highest dose of atorvastatin, which is a great cholesterol medication. For the small aspirin, the right dose is between 75 and 100 mg, so you are fine with that one as well.


Hope that helps, wish you the best,
