Hello,
I would like to tell you that the statin group of drugs can cause muscle pain in some individuals as a side effect. There are a few alternatives to the statin group of drugs.some of the common substitutes are bile acid binding resins, for example, prevalite, colestid, fibrates example fenofibrate, clofibrate and niacin. You can discuss these with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
