I take 10 mg of Zocor. My cholesterol was 240. It dropped to 110. I have been on it 2 years. I use to run and and never experienced leg cramps. Now I wake up with leg cramps about every 2 hours. They are severe enough to force me to get up and stretch my calf, Hamstring, Quad or foot which ever is cramping. The Dr. put me on Quinine for cramps, no help. I forgot to take my pill for 2 days now, purely accident and no more cramps. My hip has also been a problem where as it was not before. I am going to try not taking it for a couple days and see. If no more cramps ...NO MORE Zocore.
I also had Hepatitis A 30 years ago, told my Dr. and he said no problem. Now I read about liver problems and ZOCOR should not be combined. Who can we believe anymore.
