Bisoprolol foot and leg cramps

My husband had serious cramps on Atorvastatin but not so badly on Rosuvastatin. He also is on Bisoprolol and didnt connect the cramps with that. He also finds his steroid inhaler caused cramps so he takes a lower dose.

But maybe Bisoprolol causes his cramps as well as the statins and steroid. I know when he took Atorvastatin you could see the muscles and tendons in his arms and legs twisting. Dreadful.

Are you sure you are drinking enough?

I take Bisoprolol and Atorvastatin and have never had leg cramps, no side effects at all

I used to have cramps in my ankles when I was on no medication.
Following open heart surgery I'm now on Bisoprolol and Atorvastatin and haven't had any cramps at all.

I am on Bisoprolol and Atorvastatin. Like Helterskelter1's DH, I associated the Atorvastatin with cramps and a trickling sensation in my legs. I started taking Co-Enzyme Q10, having seen it was recommended by some as effective regarding these side effects and have not experienced them since. You can purchase it in packs of '3 for 2' at Boots. Having said that, I'd suggest you consult my GP/Pharmacist about the symptoms first....

Same here.

Same for Mr C. No side effects at all. I would suggest speaking to a doctor or pharmacist to get their advice.

I on them and I'm okay..
Have you read the leaflet enclosed in the pack if its a known Contraindication? If it is the GP should change them for you to another type.

I suffer from foot and leg cramps from time to time and it can be excruciating sometimes. I am on bisoprolol but another 6 medications as well so it is hard to isolate which (if any) is causing the cramps. Have a word with your doctor or pharmacist, they may suggest a blood test to check the sodium and potassiom levels in your body.
