A member asked:
Is there a difference in long term side effects such as muscle pain with different statins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: All statins have the potential to cause muscle pain and damage. There are several statins on the market (lipitor, zocor, (simvastatin) crestor, etc) and each will react differently for different people.
