Drug-Induced Myopathies

Abstract

Drug-induced myopathy is among the most common causes of acquired muscle disease. The frequency of drug-induced myopathy is unknown, but this condition is likely to be common and certainly under-diagnosed. Drug-induced myopathy ranges from mild myalgias with weakness to chronic myopathy with severe weakness, or to massive rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure. This toxicity is associated with creatine kinase concentrations. Withdrawal of the drug should rapidly lead to clinical improvement and normalization of serum creatine kinase concentrations.
