Does Pravastating cause itchy skin (no rash) and sudden weight gain?

scalp is itchy and body. Feel bloated and gained over 10 pounds in a couple of months. Have heart burn.|||you could be having side effects. even generics can sometimes have different fillers in them that people don't react to as well as the brand might. sometimes even vice-versus. even though the medication is the same active ingrediant and strength, the dyes and other fillers that make up the pill form and texture, etc. can be a little different. you may be better off sticking to the brand name or changing to another statin that your doc can agree on. maybe simvistatin or lovastatin. check with the doc about which might work and may be more affordable for you. lots of meds can do similar jobs. don't just assume the first one is your only choice.
