It’s well known that
cholesterol-lowering statin drugs often
cause muscle weakness – but it seems the
problem goes much deeper. New research
has discovered the drugs cause muscle
damage, and it could even be permanent
for a few. Researchers from the
University of Bern in Switzerland found
that people who had taken statins
suffered ‘significant’ muscle injury
that was still detectable years after
they stopped taking the drug. |
