The combination of drugs you have been prescribed should be prescribed cautiously. There is an increased risk of developing a severe muscle wasting side effect called rhabdomyolysis. If you experience any muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, fever, and/or dark colored urine you should stop treatment and see you doctor at once.

Hopefully your doctor has warned you of this possible risk.
Other than the above warning you can take your tablets together at the same time of day.
