Abstract

The objectives of this review are to discuss the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoforms in drug metabolism, to explain differences in metabolism among the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (HMGs, statins), to review drug-drug and drug-food interaction studies dealing with the HMGs, to present case reports dealing with HMG-related myopathy, to discuss major clinical implications of these case reports and to express an opinion of use of HMGs in clinical practice.
