I have been taking Simvastatin for 2 months. My legs and feet cramp terrible. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what can I do for relief?

Simvastatin, the generic for Zocor, is commonly used to help lower cholesterol.

Unfortunately, many people experience side effects from Statin medications.

That said, muscle cramping is listed as a rare side effect, this means you should contact your doctor immediately to report it to them. You may require a dosage or medication change.

You can read more on the medication here:

Have you mentioned this to your doctor, yet?
