Overview
In recent years, we have witnessed further successes in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and its complications. However, most of patients at risk were manageable already long time by hands and brains of physicians with internal medicine background, including rheumatologists. They could accomplish this mission by widely available drugs, 3-methyl 3-glutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). These still rank among the most successful and effective in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and its complications. Their side effects exist but are quite infrequent, very rare are serious ones. The most common side effects are with statins associated myopathies, often encountered by rheumatologists (especially more serious forms). In this article, we would like to provide an overview of the adverse effects of statins and their solutions.>
