These are the medications I have been able to discontinue after Actemra was started. Prednisone was the first medication to go. All the other medications were stopped over a period of 4 years after Prednisone was discontinued.

PREDNISONE 10 MG TABLET DAILY
ATORVASTATIN 40 MG TABLET DAILY
LOSARTAN 100 MG TABLET DAILY
AMLODIPINE 10 MG TABLET DAILY
SPIRONOLACTONE 50 MG TABLET DAILY
WARFARIN 5 MG TABLET DAILY
METFORMIN 500 MG TABLET 2 TIMES DAILY
RANITIDINE 300 MG TABLET DAILY
CHOLECALCIFEROL (VITAMIN D3) 2,000 UNIT TABLET DAILY
TIZANIDINE 4 MG TABLET 3 TIMES DAILY-- as needed

Of those meds you listed , I’m taking prednisone, simvastatin, losartin 100mg, and metformin, 1000mg 2 x a day. Also take verapamil (for Supraventricular tachycardia and BP) hydrodiuril for BP….
Hopefully I will be able to take Actemra and be able to dc some of these meds….,
