What is the significant side effect of antilipidemic drugs?

A significant side effect of antilipidemic drugs, particularly statins, is the potential for muscle-related issues, including myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Patients may experience muscle pain, weakness, or elevated levels of creatine kinase in the blood, indicating muscle damage. Other side effects can include liver enzyme abnormalities and gastrointestinal disturbances. Regular monitoring is often recommended to mitigate these risks.
