Could Severe Cramps In Legs And Muscles Be Due To Pravastatin Sodium Tablets?
I am taking pravastatin sodium tabs 20mg for about 13 days at bed time. I am very tired evenings but when going to bed I get terrible spasms in both legs and muscle cramps. I lay awake for 4 hrs. or so. could this be do to the medication? I am also taking vicodin 1/2 tabs maybe 3 times daily. Thank you

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pravastatin is in statin the family of drugs.
Muscle aches and pain are potential side effects of these medications. If it is the cause then discontinuation would help but this should be discussed with your doctor.
I hope this helps
