i take cinacalcet but also take rosuvastatin. i experience joint, muscle and bone pain and weakness. i had no problems with the rosuvastatin (10mg) so am wondering if it is the cinacalcet alone or the interaction btwn the two meds that is causing the problem.

The lab resuslts signify good control of the parathyroid deficit. However, this pill (Sensipar), after a few days' use, produces extreme, disabling diarrhea inadequately controlled even with lomotil. Are there alternatives to Sensipar or lomotil?

Itching has become very uncomfortable after less than two weeks use. All over skin, mostly arms, knees and back. Short term use only pending nuclear scan but I will not be taking it anymore!!
