Does Coenzyme Q10 Relieve Statin-Induced Muscle Pain?

[MineralMan]

2. There is nothing preventing individuals from taking

a CoQ10 supplement if they believe it will benefit them while taking statin drugs. Some physicians even recommend it to their patients who experience muscle pain.

That, however, does not mean that people should not take statin drugs if prescribed by their physician. Research is still incomplete on whether CoQ10 is beneficial for those patients who experience muscle pain. If trials indicate that it is, then it will be part of the recommendations of physicians to their patients. In the meantime, anyone who wants can purchase the supplement in a variety of forms from a variety of sources.

Those are the facts. If you think CoQ10 will benefit you, take it. If you don't, don't. Consider whatever evidence you wish, read anything you wish, then do what you wish.

I would advise each person to do his or her own research and not rely on random posts on internet forums or advertising material from companies which make a profit selling this supplement. Asking your physician is probably also a wise choice.
