Hello!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Prevalite is used to lower high levels of cholesterol in the blood, especially low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol.
Its most common side effects include bloating sensation, diarrhea, steatorrhoea,weight loss, itching or irritation around the anal area. It is unlikely to cause muscle weakness.

Muscle weakness and weight gain could be due some other causes which need to be ruled out after consulting your doctor.

Hope this will help.
