Does Statin Cause Muscle Pain Like Side Effects?
Hello. I was just put on a statin, Fenofibrate 145 mg. I have tried many other statins in the pass to bring down my levels but because of severe leg and muscle pain stopped. Are the side effects from this particular statin cause the same symptoms? Also I m wondering why my doc started me on such a high mg.Thanks

hi
Your doctor may be the best judge.Not all statins give such side effects unless in large doses.Wait and watch, hopefully this one shall not produce muscle pain.
have good control on fat diet especially saturated fats in diet,regular exercises should be done
