Brief Answer:
No these should not be taken together.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

Both these medicines may have adverse effect on heart and if taken together the effect may be additive. hence should not be taken together even if there is no decrease in efficacy.

Take care.
