Statin intolerance

Statin intolerance is characterized by muscular pain that arise a couple of days after the nitiation of a lipid lowering therapy. In most severe cases, it can develop into rhabdomyolysis, renal insufficiency, and death. Inadequate hepatic metabolism of the medicament is the cause which leads to accumulation in muscle cells. Genetically a mutation in genes encoding enzymes and transporters involved in statin metabolism..
