Dark Urine While Having Pravastatin Could Be Statin Related?
I am concerned about statins my cholesterol triglycerides are high but I had sudden onset of severe joint pain with Lipitor - resolved when we stopped the drug. Now trying pravastatin; no joint pain but smelly or dark urine. Could this be statin related.?

Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
NOT likely to be related to statin
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis
And diagnosis demands examination; probably investigation too;
GET YOURSELF EXAMINED / GET URINE TESTED
The treating doctor alone could conclude better, based on the total clinical picture
Good luck
God bless you
