  4. Health Queries for Avas 5 mg Tablet 30's

  5. I have been taking Avas 5 for the last 4 years, and recently I noticed pain in my legs. At first, I thought it was due to varicose veins, but now I feel it may be a side effect of this medicine. Should I change this medicine?

Leg pain can sometimes occur as a side effect of medicines used to control cholesterol, but it may also happen due to muscle strain or circulation problems. It is important not to stop or change the medicine on your own. A blood test or clinical check may help find the exact cause of the pain. Consult your doctor, as they can review your treatment and decide if any changes are needed.
