Is There Any Connection Between Pravachol Usage And Drop Foot?
Hi. I have been taking Pravachol for approximate 5years. I have had drop foot for about the same period. Is this a coincidence? My leg is fitted with an afo brace also.. It is hard to get around as you can imagine... What do you think...... Sincerely Dorothy...

Hi Dorothy..
Unfortunately.This drug may rarely cause muscle problems (which can rarely lead to very serious conditions called rhabdomyolysis and autoimmune myopathy).
Consult your doctor as you need to change it asap.
