Does Taking Amlodipine, Crestor, Pantoprazole And Plavix Together Cause Scoliosis?
I ve been told I have slight scoliosis. I looked up the topic and found some of the meds I take may cause it. Amlodipine, Crestor, Pantoprazol, and Plavix. I get calf and foot cramps also. One of my legs is shorter than the other and one foot is larger than the other. Can these maladies cause scoliosis? YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
No medicine can cause scoliosis, but it can be due to some genetic constitution.
Even no cure from any medicine is there, the difference in length of the leg could be physiological or due to scoliosis itself but may not be due to medicines that you are taking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
