Certain Medications
Prescription medications are an important part of health maintenance for many individuals. When taking medication, it is important to understand the possible side effects.
Some medications, including diuretics for high blood pressure, oral contraceptives and statins, may cause your legs to cramp, particularly those that cause a decrease in bodily fluid levels. This side effect can lead to dehydration, which can trigger muscle cramps.
If you are on prescription medications and experiencing leg cramps, it’s important to consult your doctor to see what treatment options are available for you.
