Vitamins Switch
Apr 10, 2009

have been taking betavit since I started Truvada and Stoctrin in october. doctor switched betavit to neurovit and neurobion. now having severe muscle and bone pain when resting. it improves when i am moving around. What couod be the cause

Response from Dr. Henry

Peripheral neuropathy is not very common from Truvada and Stocrine (< 5%). A good history and physical examination is needed to sort out the nature/distribution of your muscle/bone pain. Lab work up looking for evidence of vitamin deficiencies (such as vitamin D), muscle damage, rheumatogolic disorders, or metabolic problems often helpful. X-rays looking a bone density/structure in involved areas also may be indicated depending on findings from clinical evaluation. KH
