Statins side effects: List of all sensations which may be caused by the drug
Statins are effective at lowering cholesterol and protecting against a heart attack and stroke, although they may lead to side effects for some people. What are all the possible sensations a person may experience from taking the drug?
In a study published in the National Library of Health, a generalised sensation of coldness following statin use was analysed.
The study presented a case of a 60-year-old man who began feeling a cold sensation after taking rosuvastatin.
The man experienced a continuous sensation of coldness and had to wear extra pairs of socks and cover himself with blankets even during the summertime.
The abnormal sensation persisted for the 26 months during which he was treated with rosuvastatin and disappeared within a week after discontinuing treatment.
