Started Levaquin and Azor 5/40 on the same day, that night severe leg pain and calf cramps occured. After two days of Levaquin therapy my doctor told me to stop it since it may have caused the problem. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and I still have calf pain. The Azor lowered my blood pressure to a normal level, but I'm concerned about the leg pain, my doctor said to give it time to heal, especially since I also take 2mg of Medrol daily for RA. I'm a slow healer, should I learn to be more patient or could this also be a side effect of Azor? I was previously prescribed Diovan and other blood pressure drugs without a problem.
Anonymous Has anyone reported a problem with severe leg pain and calf cramps while on Azor?

Been taking azor for 6 months without a problem. 3 weeks ago, I started running into dizziness, irregular heart beats, tingling and cramping of my hands and lower legs. Was admitted at the hospital after a black out spell. They run all tests but nothing. During investigation, found out cvs pharmacy had accidentally double dosed my medication when i went for refills thus been taking this double dose for 3 weeks. I just stopped taking it 2 days ago but i still have cramps in the lower leg and arms with mild dizziness. Doctors think i'm crazy. NEED HELP!!!
