HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Pradax can be associated with different possible side effect but it is not normally associated with joint or muscle pain.

It is likely that this discomfort is related to another cause.

He may want to speak to his doctor who would be able to examine him and determine the reason for the pain so that treatment can be initiated.

I hope this helps
