Since the introduction of the first statins, numerous studies have been published regarding its incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment; however, to this day these aspects are still controversial. With the progressive increase in the use of statins in the general population, notifications of adverse reactions related to its use have multiplied, particularly those related to muscular toxicity. Nevertheless, the differences between the published studies, both in methodology and in the results obtained, make this relationship a complex issue of great interest for clinicians and patients. The integration of the evidence that we currently have can help us understand better this entity and facilitate its management in clinical practice. ER -
