Mevacor and Muscle Aches

Final Thoughts

For people taking Mevacor, muscle aches and pain can be a problem, especially when first starting the medication or when the dosage is increased. Talk to your healthcare provider if muscle aches become a problem while you are taking Mevacor. Your healthcare provider will be able to give you other suggestions for dealing with this. If the muscle aches continue, your healthcare provider may recommend adjusting the Mevacor dosage or switching to another cholesterol medication.

 

Also, if muscle aches, weakness, pain, or tenderness occurs (especially if you also have a fever or feel sick), it can mean there is a serious problem. Call your healthcare provider immediately.
