What Causes Soft Stools While On Simvastatin?
I have been on simvastatin for about 10 months now and noticed that I have much softer stools than before. Still very regular and not going anymore often than usual just that they are much softer than before. Is that normal? I do not go back to dr. until March

HI
Well come to HCM
Appreciate your query, what symptoms you gave here of soft stool is normal one and it may not be due to the medicine you are taking (Simvastatin) but it seems to be due to the diet taken, some time it may be due to sluggish digestive symptoms and that may be also due to food, or the particular diet taken, else it is nothing to worry. hope this information helps.
