It is a widespread belief that statins are a likely cause of muscle aches. Now a "monumental" study by researchers

UFU 2022 - QUESTÃO 48

It is a widespread belief that statins are a likely cause of muscle aches. Now a "monumental" study by researchers at Oxford University has "definitively" debunked the theory that the cholesterol-busting pills are to blame for common pains. While aches are experienced by many taking the drugs, the vast majority are caused by other things – most commonly that those taking them are simply getting older. GPs are advised to offer patients greater reassurance, paving the way for millions more people to be prescribed the pills that greatly reduce the risk of heart attacks. It follows decades of debate about the merits of statins, which are taken by more than eight million people in the UK.
