Brief Answer:
Muscle pains can be drug related.Need confirmation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
In case of muscle pains, first and foremost we need to rule out drug-induced myopathy.
This could be caused by Atocor 20 mg.
For this, I advise you to get a serum CK-MB levels and electrolyte levels.
Based on the test results, further changes can be applied to your current regimen of drugs.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
