Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Weakness In Legs And Arms Be Due To The Drug Interaction Of Atorvastatin?
I am currently taking Diltiazem 360 mg and low-dose aspirin in the morning. I am taking Amlodopine 10 mg and Lisinopril 20 mg in the evening. I was prescribed Atorvastatin 10 mg a month ago, to be taken in the evening. About 7-10 days ago, I began feeling ache/weakness in my arms and legs. I stopped taking the Atorvastatin 4 days ago. My doctor advised that I stop the Atorvastatin for 2 weeks and call her office if my symptoms have continued. I am very concerned about taking these medications together.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if you do not have any symptoms that could proved that this is because of the medicines taking altogether, then this is nothing to worry, more over what the medicines you are taking may not cause any symptoms if taken as you are taking, so no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
