Hovedbudskap
- Alle statiner kan gi muskelbivirkninger med eller uten økt totalaktivitet av kreatinkinase (CK) i serum
- Alvorlige muskelbivirkninger som myopati og rabdomyolyse er sjeldne (<1/1 000)
- Legemiddelinteraksjoner og disponerende tilstander kan øke risikoen for alvorlige muskelbivirkninger
