1. From how long is the calf muscle Paining? How best can you describe it? Dull, sharp, shooting? Any relieving factors?
2. Were you on a higher dose before this?
3. Any change in routine activity like exercise after you have been on this drug?

Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply

Hello

Thanks for the query

It is true that the statins (cholesterol lowering drugs) cause some amount of myopathy but these are usually seen in people who are on higher dosages like 80 mg /day (in ase of myocardial infarction) or they are on long term medicines over several years.
In your case it is unlikely that is drug has caused the muscle pain. It could be a regular musculo skeletal pain, I advice you to approach a physician for a pain killer and a muscle relaxant for this. If the pain still persists then maybe statin induced myopathy can be considered

I hope I have answered your query, if you have any further queries I will be happy to reply

I wish you good health

Regards
