Does Pravachol Cause Joint Pain?
Joint pain is a possible side effect of Pravachol® (pravastatin sodium). It is not exactly clear how many people experienced joint pain in Pravachol clinical studies. In one study, up to 6 percent of people had problems with “musculoskeletal pain,” a term that includes joint pain as well as other muscle, joint, or both pain. In another study, as many as 10 percent of people reported pain in a specific area (“localized” pain) of a muscle, joint, or bone.
