Explanation:
This is a class of lipid-lowering drugs called (sating) taken to reduce the blood levels of cholesterol, low density lipoproteins, and other forms of lipids( (while raising the levels of good high density lipoprotein)) that put individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases. The dosage can be taken at anytime of the day, but at the same time.
The major side effects of Liptor on skeletal muscles are :
Myopathy in which the the muscles cells failed to function properly leading to stiffness, cramps, of muscles
And
Rhabdomyolysis; in which the patient experiences general weakness,pains in the legs as experienced by the client in the question. It was due to the breakdown of the damaged(non functioning ) muscles fibres.
Basically,Lipitor inhibits certain proteins in muscles cells required for growth, it also inhibits activities of Co-enzyme 10, thus blocking access of these cells to energy,
These combined effects may be responsible for the symptoms experienced by the client in question and therefore malfunctioning of the muscles.
