Depends: Your doctor probably is the best person to ask. Likely used this combination previously. Or if not they can clarify their order.

Purpose?: Although they can probably be safely taken together, I have not seen this combination recommended. You should post this question to the doctor who prescribe the combination if you are concerned.
