Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it may cause knee problem. Rozavel-F contains a combination of two medications Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate which are commonly prescribed to lower the high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The most common side effects of this drug includes stomach upset, myopathy (muscle pain, tenderness and weakness), liver dysfunction, joint pains and back pain. One should stop taking this drug if the signs and symptoms of myopathy, liver dysfunction or arthritis appear. Other alternate effective but safer drugs include cholestyramine or niacin which do not cause those side effects.
Hope these answer your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
