Common leg issues

Some medicines, combined with an unhealthy lifestyle, can cause problems in the legs. For example, birth control pills and other hormones can increase your risk of developing blood clots, while water pills (diuretics), heart medicine and cholesterol-lowering medicines (statins) can cause muscle cramps.

If you have any concerns about your medication and leg health, it is essential that you consult your physician before making any changes.
