==Statin Therapy==
===Drug Interactions===
*[[Cyclosporin]] co-administration is associated with a higher rate of [[myositis]] among statin users as a result of inhibition of [[CYP3A4]]. The exception is [[pravastatin]] in which this is not a problem.
===Reducing non-myositis Muscle Pain==
* [[Coenzyme Q]] can be used to reduce the incidence of non-[[myositis]] muscle pain.  Several weeks of coenzyme Q should be given prior to trying the combination of the agent with statin therapy.
