ABSTRACT
Fortunately statin therapy is well tolerated, but clinicians should be aware of the risk for myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and, rarely, peripheral neuropathy as complications. As more people use statin therapy, the incidence of these adverse affects will likely increase. Clinicians may be able to detect the neuromuscular complications early and prevent more severe complications. Further research is necessary to better understand the etiology and management of statinrelated neuromuscular disease.REFERENCES
