Statin-induced muscular side effects at rest and exercise - An anatomical mapping.

CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity seems to be a key trigger for onset of statin-induced muscular side effects. The appearance of symptoms can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, generalized or in isolated muscle groups only. Different statins usually produce similar symptoms, but often some patients tolerate one statin better than another. PMID: 31447216 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
