If you have taken a statin and your muscles are sore, whether you want to continue taking it or not needs to be judged according to different situations.
First of allIf you experience muscle soreness after taking a statin, you should stop your current statin** immediately and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Your doctor will evaluate your specific situation and decide if you need to continue taking statins.
Secondly,If lab tests show a significant increase in creatine kinase, it usually indicates that the statin is causing drug-induced muscle damage and the statin should not be continued.
Other types of lipid-lowering drugs can be changed under the guidance of a doctor.
If the creatine kinase increase is not evident in the test results, you can continue to take statins, but you need to reduce the amount of statin and repeat the creatine kinase under the guidance of your doctor.
When the patient's condition is relatively stable, a statin drug that has less impact on the human muscle can be selected, for example, the dose can be appropriately reduced to reduce the impact on the muscle.
It is also recommended that patients can control the condition through non-medication**, such as through exercise or some dietary modifications, and reduce further use of statin drugs as much as possible.
In conclusion, if you experience muscle soreness after taking a statin, you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention as soon as possible, and make follow-up ** and medication adjustments under the guidance of your doctor.
