Your suggestion is spot on! I contacted the amazing pharmacist on my transplant team and she reviewed my meds after I explained my symptoms. She suggested I change statins from simvastatin which is harder to absorb with Tacrolimus thus leaving more in the blood system and causing aches for pravastatin. So far it has worked well and I’m mostly ache free.

@mfilson Wow, I'm happy to hear that you and your doctor have discussed this and decided that it might work for you!
What are you looking forward to doing with the reduced pain?

Hi. I am starting a statin. One dr wants Crestor my transplant coordinator said Lipitor is better. Does anyone recommend one over another. Sorry, not sure og generic names. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
