Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Muscle Pain In Shoulder And Anxiety While On Cubicin?
My husband has been taking cubicin through IV and now pic line for a total of 10 days. He is experiencing muscle pains in his shoulders, arms, and back. He is also suffering from bouts of anxiety. From what I have read, this seems to be normal side effects of taking this drug. It was prescribed by his Dr. to treat infection from a surgical incision. Should we contact the Dr. to see if anything should be changed? We don t have an appt. until next Thursday.
The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to the common side effects of cubicin. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the pain such as Ibuprofen 400 mg tree tablet a day.
I also recommend him to rest. If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
