A member asked:
Can being on avapro (irbesartan) or atenolol long term cause joint or muscle pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Muscle pain not likely to come from beta blockers (atenolol) or arbs (avapro). However, they are not uncommon with another frequently given medications: statins (to reduce cholesterol).

Was taking 25mg Athenolol for HBP along with avapro 300mg. Started cutting my atenolol dose in half as my resting heart rate hovers around 59-60. The 25mg pills are hard to cut properly and so i sometimes take an uneven dose. Can this cause issues?
