A landmark study by Oxford University has proven that statins are not the cause of muscle pain for more than nine in 10 patients who suffer it.
GPs have been told to stop scaring users off statins following the review of 23 clinical trials involving 150,000 patients which experts say “definitively” settles the contested issue over side effects.
