Statin-Induced Muscle Pain: An Immune Response
Scientists have identified an immune response that may explain why statins cause muscle pain, weakness, and exercise intolerance in some people.
Scientists have identified an immune response that may explain why statins cause muscle pain, weakness, and exercise intolerance in some people. The finding could eventually lead to treatments that protect muscles while preserving the drugs’ lifesaving cardiovascular benefits. The researchers suggest that this immune response may be a key factor in the development of statin-induced myopathy.
