Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understad your concern and I would like to assure you that Roseday therapy (that is lipid lowering treatment) may be associated with some side effects in certain patients, like muscle pain and break down. Some blood lab tests should be performed: AST, ALT, CPK, complete urine test, coupled with a medical ckeck up by the attending physician. If skeletal muscle involvement is confirmed, and altered blood tests are found, then Rosuvastatin should be stopped immediately.
Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
