Can Advil Be Taken Along With Losartan And Benicar?

Hi. I ve been on Norvasc 5 mg in the am and Benicar 20 mg in the pm, (was 40 mg, went to 20 mg, BP OK). Insurance won t pay for Norvasc anymore and I can t take the amlopedine it causes my heart to flutter. Doctor called in new med, losartan. when I went to pick up Benicar and the new losartan, pharmacist said stop the Benicar. Called doctor s office, they said no, take the losartan in the am and the Benicar in the pm. Is this OK to do? I ve had IBS-D for over 20 years, so will this aggrevate this problem and is it OK to take Advil or Aleve for tendonitis and arthritis if taking losartan and Benicar? Thanks so much for your help.
