Vitamin D Associated with Statin-Related Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a common side effect associated with statin use. In a recent study that compared patients on statins with and without MSK pain, researchers observed that those with MSK pain were nearly four times more likely to have deficient vitamin D levels. The results suggest that improving the vitamin D levels of patients on statin therapy may reduce their risk for statin-related MSK pain.
