[QUOTE="Ultramum, post: 1455905, member: 276840"] A study in the Lancet has concluded that patients suffer side effects from statins due to a 'nocebo' effect. They experience them because they expect them. They are calling for the side effects NOT to be listed due to this. The study compared a dosage of 10mg of Atorvastatin vs a placebo where the rate of muscle aches and pains reported was the same for both arms of the trial. My first thought was that 10mg of Atorvastatin was only a very small dosage.

"The trial was funded by Pfizer, which markets atorvastatin under the trade name Lipitor." [/QUOTE]
