I have been on Lovastain for three years. My eyes are itching like crazy. I itch all over at night. Has anybody else had this problem?

Hello, Sherry! How are you?
I don't see anything about the itchy eyes, but this medication is reported by the FDA as being known to cause the all over body itching. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.
Are you on any other medications?
If the body itching just occurs at night, it could be due to a circulation issue. I used to experience with certain blood pressure medications that I was taking.
Have you had this checked out, yet to get a diagnosis?
Was this helpful?
