Zocor and Muscle Pain: Final Thoughts
Muscle pain and aches are a common problem for people taking
Zocor, especially during the beginning phases of treatment or when the dosage is increased. Unfortunately, it is impossible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will develop these problems if you have never taken Zocor.
Therefore, you should talk with your healthcare provider if muscle pain becomes a problem during treatment. He or she may be able to give you suggestions for dealing with muscle pain. If the pain continues, he or she may recommend adjusting the
Zocor dosage or switching to another
cholesterol medication.
You should call your healthcare provider immediately if you experience muscle aches, weakness, pain, or tenderness along with a fever or feeling of sickness. These could indicate a serious problem.
