Muscle pain is a common side effect reported by patients taking statins, which include rosuvastatin, the active substance in Zahron. This side effect is more common than 1 in 100, but not more common than 1 in 10 patients taking the medicine. The management of symptoms of statin intolerance associated with muscle pain depends on creatine kinase levels. Creatine kinase (CPK) is an enzyme present, among other things, in striated muscle. Its activity can be an indicator of their damage or inflammation. Creatine kinase is examined from serum by taking blood from a vein located in the elbow fossa. This examination is ordered by a doctor. The patient for the examination should be on an empty stomach. Before performing the test, you should inform your doctor about the vitamins, medicines and dietary supplements that may affect the result of the test. With an increase in creatine kinase, which does not exceed 4 times the upper limit of normal, it is advisable to discontinue Zahron for 2-4 weeks. If, after their expiry, the symptoms continue to persist, it means that they were not caused by the statin and we can return to taking it. If the ailments decrease, another or a second statin is ordered as an additional drug (e.g. atorvastatin) in the initial dose. When symptoms recur, we use a low dose of a third statin or atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (Zahron) every other day or less. If creatine kinase exceeds 4 times the norm, the drug should be discontinued for 6 weeks, after which its low low dose, e.g. 5 mg, should be used. If, after this time, the symptoms have subsided, we use a low dose of Zahron or alternatively we can use it every other day or less often - once or twice a week. In a situation where the patient after the applied regimen, completely intolerant to statins, it remains to use another cholesterol-lowering drug from another group, e.g. ezetimib: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/ezetimibe So please go to the doctor. Of course, the procedure described by me is exemplary and the doctor may afford another, own therapy. Zahron contains rosuvastatin and is used to lower blood cholesterol levels.

By reporting side effects, you help other patients, including your loved ones, who may also need the same medicine one day. This step also allows you to gather more information on the safety of medicinal products and update data on them.

Zgadzam się - statyny mogą powodować choroby mięsni (miopatie) oraz rozpad mięsni - rabdomiolizę. Oczywiście nie u każdego taki objaw wystąpi.
