Abstract
This book chapter examines the relationship between statin use and statin-induced myalgia, emphasizing the importance of effective management strategies. It aims to identify the main symptoms, evaluate risk factors, mechanism of action and especially explore alternative treatments, including the association of statins with vitamin D. The methodology involved a descriptive and qualitative literature review focusing on databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar and PubMed, from 1996 to 2024. The results show the need for personalized approaches in treatment, considering individual variability in response to medication. It is concluded that in-depth understanding and careful management are crucial to improve treatment adherence and quality of life for patients.
