Take 40mg at night, take losartan 100/25 morning. after morning BM[normal] half hour later stomach cramps and severe diarrhea lots of water. could pravastatin cause this? causing liver to dump bile? taking a water pill and adding this effect causes me to be concerned as to dehydration with 80-90 degree temps here in the South?

Hello, Rick! How are you?

Yes, it can cause those types of issues in some people that take it. These statin medications are very problematic and many people have experienced such severe joint and muscle aches that they had to stop taking them.

In these high temps, it might be best to speak to your doctor about adjusting something or perhaps dropping the diuretic for now.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
