The brief
Researchers have uncovered a potential metabolic cause for muscle pain linked to statins. Concurrent reporting on a large Lancet study suggests that statins may not be responsible for most of the side effects listed on their labels.
Coverage from Scientific Frontline and Medical Xpress emphasizes the discovery of the metabolic cause. ScienceDaily and SciTechDaily highlight the introduction of a new calculator designed to determine an individual's actual risk of experiencing statin side effects.
Future developments involve the application of the new risk calculator and further verification of the metabolic cause for muscle pain, as Optometry Advisor notes the risk for serious muscle disorders remains low for most people.
