Intolerance to the "statin" drugs

Intolerance to the "statin" drugs

Posted By Paul on October 10, 1998 at 18:14:11:







Why, after nearly 5 years, would I suddenly develop an intolerance to the
"statin" drugs? I'd been taking Zocor when suddenly I experienced muscle
pains, aches, stiffness, and fever. When I stopped the Zocor the symptoms
went away, when I resumed the symptoms came back. I quit the Zocor and after
about a month started Lipitor and had the same results... when I took the
Lipitor the symptoms came back and when I stopped they went away. Most
recently I've taken Pravachol and had the same results. What's going on?
This is very frustrating because the Zocor had been very successful, dropping
my total cholesterol count over 100 points. I'm also concerned that maybe
I've developed liver disease or something. My GP/Internist doesn't have
any answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
