What are the Toxicological Concerns Associated with Statins?
While statins are generally well-tolerated, they are not without potential risks and side effects. Some of the toxicological concerns include muscle-related symptoms such as myopathy and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition characterized by muscle breakdown. Statins can also impact liver function and cause elevated liver enzymes. Moreover, some studies suggest a potential association with an increased risk of diabetes.
