ATORVASTATIN INDUCED MYOPATHY: A CASE STUDY

Gouri S.*, Hannah Elizabeth Sabu, Dr. Chris Philip Mathew and Dr. Mohan Varghese

Abstract

Statins (HMG CoA Reductase inhibitors) are widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. They are also used in cardiovascular disease, stroke and are contraindicated in liver disease.
