With all the questions about statin taking I thought I'd correct the spelling on the muscle wasting phenomena that can accompany taking that drug.
GOOGLING "rhabdomyolysis statins" will get you lot's of info.
BTW, here's an interesting fact.... one of the big drug companies has a patent on adding COQ10 to their drug. I read that there's speculation that since the drug (Lipitor I believe)was marketed initially without COQ10 they fear adding it now would unleash too many lawsuits from those who may have suffered one of the many side effects of statin taking WITHOUT COQ10 !
As much as I dislike statins those with genetic predisposition to extremely high total Chol and LDL readings it may be a necessity. Use with caution. Take Ubiquinol!
