Statin meds not at fault for triggering muscle aches, study says By (0) People taking statin drugs often complain of muscle aches, but a new study finds the medications are unlikely to be the culprit. The results come from a trial involving patients who had quit taking their statins, or were considering quitting, due to muscle pain.
