ABSTRACT
Among the side effects of simvastatin, elevated liver enzyme or creatine kinase activity has been occasionally report-ed, but overt myopathy is rare. We report two cases of simvastatin-induced myopathy with usual dosages of simvas-tatin. Two patients presented with general myalgia, markedly elevated creatine kinase activity, and mild proximal weak-ness. One patient had been treated with concomitant use of cyclosporine and simvastatin after renal transplantation, and another patient had diabetic nephropathy. We recommend careful monitoring when myalgia appears in a patient receiv-ing simvastatin. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(4)435~437, 2001)
