Is Frequent Urination A Side Effect Of Simvastatin?
I have been taking simvastatin for my cholesterol. I take it before bed time at my doctor s suggestion. I go to the bathroom (urinate) 5 to 6 times per morning (between 5:00am and 8;30am) leaving me exhausted. Could this be a side effect of this medication? My e-mail is YYYY@YYYY
