Algunos medicamentos alteran las fibras musculares y producen dolor y pueden ser reemplazados por otros con menos efectos secundarios.
Si tienes dolores musculares y estás tomando medicamentos para la tensión arterial o el colesterol, como Estatinas o IECAs, y tienes dolores musculares, debes pedirle a tu médico que considere alternativas.
