“…20 This could explain statin-induced myopathy in patients with reduced vitamin D levels, where insufficient CYP activity may lead to decreased metabolism of the statin and increased toxicity. 21 These findings may be further corroborated by studies evaluating statin reintroduction after 25(OH)D supplementation in patients with low 25(OH)D levels who were statin-intolerant because of muscle-related adverse events. A study showed that of 146 patients with statin intolerance due to myopathy or myonecrosis, 131 (88%) patients showed reversal of the intolerance with supplementation of vitamin D. 8 A proposed marker of vitamin D levels <20 ng/mL has been introduced as a predictor of muscular adverse events during statin treatment.…”

“…[ 44 ] Since vitamin D is an inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, vitamin D supplementation should reduce myopathic side effects by increasing the metabolism of statins, thereby reducing statin-induced muscle toxicity. [ 45 ] Simvastatin, atorvastatin, and lovastatin are metabolized primarily by CYP3A4, fluvastatin by CYP2C9, and pravastatin and rosuvastatin are not appreciably metabolized by CYP enzymes. [ 45 ] Rosuvastatin, the statin rechallenge used in the present study, appears to cause less myalgia than other statins,[ 46 ] in part, because it is not metabolized by CYP3A4.…”

“…W przypadku innych statyn, takich jak prawastatyna, pitawastatyna i rosuwastatyna, wpływ równocześnie stosowanej witaminy D może być niewielki lub żaden. Warto zwrócić uwagę na możliwe interakcje skutkujące zmniejszeniem efektywności leczenia [34].…”
