Statins are effective and considered safe for most people, but they raise the risk of side effects, including muscle aches, liver problems, mental fuzziness and the potential for developing diabetes.
Several genetic polymorphisms may be linked to an increase in statin-related side effects with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLCO1B1 gene showing a 45 fold higher incidence of statin related myopathy [104] than people without the polymorphism. There are several studies showing genetic variants and variable response to atorvastatin.
Side effects of statins include muscle pain, increased risk of diabetes, and abnormal blood levels of certain liver enzymes. [5] Additionally, they have rare but severe adverse effects, particularly muscle damage, and very rarely rhabdomyolysis. [6] [7]

Statins in general have been proposed as beneficial in reducing the progression of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). [13] Multiple observational studies have been conducted [14] [15] to analyse the benefits of statin use in delaying the progression of AMD but have resulted in conflicting outcomes. Given the current available information ...
