Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that there is no problem with metronidazole taken with Ramipril and Bisoprolol. But, there could be some interactions when taken with Low dose aspirin.

Also, Talk to your doctor before using Metronidazole together with Atorvastatin. Combining these medications may increase the risk of nerve damage. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Let your doctor know if you develop numbness, pain, burning, or tingling in your hands and feet. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
