Final Thoughts
For people taking Advicor, joint pain is possible. Make sure to talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have concerns about this. Also, keep in mind that it is not possible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will have a side effect from a medicine that you have never taken. Therefore, if you notice any joint pain while taking Advicor, talk to your healthcare provider. If the problem continues after the first couple of months, he or she may recommend adjusting the Advicor dosage or switching to another cholesterol medication.
