But the story of side effects when it
Until 2001, there were very few reports of tolerability or safety concerns for people taking statins.
But that year, a statin, Cerevastatin, was removed from the market due to safety concerns, specifically for rhabdomyolysis, which occurred at a rate of 0.01% in people taking it.
Promptly after its removal from the market, all information sheets included warnings for all statins, included warnings about muscle symptoms, and physicians counseled patients to report muscle aches as an early warning sign of rhabdomyolysis.
This issue was highly publicized, as it should have been.
You know, this is a potentially serious side effect.
And so let's, you know, make sure you look out for this.
And many patients who felt muscle aches often would interpret them as myopathy or go to their doctor with concerns about myopathy.
They would stop taking statins and their symptoms improved, which reinforced the belief that these statins might be dangerous.
Right.
We're the cause of that.
Right.
And certainly these muscle symptoms were and are real.
But there is also something called the nocebo effect that seems to be at play here, at least to some degree.
So the nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect.
It's anticipation of negative symptoms that leads you to experience them.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
At least in all cases.
Right.
