Brief Answer:
Pravastatin can cause.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Pravastatin can cause muscle aches and joint pains.
I don't know what does Ziti contains. If you are taking about Zifi , it is an antibiotic. It won't cause any muscle pains or joint pains but if someone is on it then the basic medical reason like any sore throat, viral can cause muscle aches and joint pains.
As far as your query is concerned, Pravastatin can cause these symptoms.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
