A Turkish report published in 2014, cites the case of a 54-year-old woman admitted to the hospital with hypercalcaemia who saw her symptoms resolve after discontinuing the drug.
While the case suggests that the calcium-induced hypercalcemia was triggered by the patient’s atorvastatin prescription, the relations remain unclear.
The researchers, therefore, called for future studies evaluating the effect of atorvastatin on calcium metabolism to help clarify this association.
What’s more, in comparison to other side effects, reports of hypercalcemia from statin are scant.
The most common side effect reported by people taking statins is muscle pain, which may be experienced as soreness, tiredness or weakness in the muscle.
