Not necessarily.: Some r combinations of meds, some r only 1 statin. Trial ; error. If u switch, report immediately any such symptoms. Also don't start until the aching clears.

Not necessarily: Not necessarily, but needs to be monitored closely, with cpk, aldolase and clinical evaluation. However, if muscle damage was considered severe by physician, probably best to avoid the class of med.
