What Causes Fever, Headache And Body Aches While On Fluvastatin ER?

I have been taking Fluvastatin Sodium Extended Release Tablets,80 MG for two weeks. Thurs. I developed a fever, headache and body aches which has extended into today with no let up. I did not take a tablet last night. Am I having a reaction to the medicine? How long will it take to get out of my system?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever, headache and body aches while on Fluvastatin ER this seems to be viral fever or flu. It is due to poor immunity of body which increases chances of infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

1) Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.

2) Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest.

3) Do warm saline gargles.

4) Avoid intake of outside food and cold carbonated beverages. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.

5) Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet.
Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests a s well.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
