Vytorin and Joint Pain: A Summary
Talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have concerns about Vytorin and joint pain. Also, keep in mind that it is not possible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will have a side effect with a medicine that you have never taken. If you develop joint pain while taking Vytorin and it continues after the first couple of months, your healthcare provider may recommend adjusting the Vytorin dosage or switching to another cholesterol medication.
