Abstract | Statins are group of medicines that lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. They may exert toxic effects on skeletal muscle ranging from simple muscle pain to life-threatening complications such as rhabdomyolysis. We report a case of 74-year-old male who was prescribed statins along with other drugs for treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and developed rhabdomyolysis which lead to acute renal failure.
