Impact of vitamin D status on statin-induced myopathy
[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214623716300503 by Krista D. Riche Pharm.D. a b, Justin Arnall Pharm.D.,Kristin Rieser Pharm. Honey E. East M.D. d Daniel M. Riche Pharm.D., FCCP, BCPS, CDE, ASH-CHC, CLS 12/2016 Journal of Clinical & Translational Endocrinology]
There is a multitude of evidence supporting the benefit of statin use in cardiovascular disease; however, statin-induced myopathy is a major reason for statin discontinuation and non-adherence. Vitamin D deficiency has been independently associated with muscle weakness and severe myopathy, and may be a confounder for statin-induced myopathies. Since there is no consensus on a treatment course of action for statin-induced myopathy, investigation into potential confounders to elucidate the dynamics of statin-induced myopathy is warranted.

Vitamin D testing and the use of vitamin D supplements have increased substantially in recent years. Currently, the role of vitamin D supplementation, and the optimal vitamin D dose and status, is a subject of debate, because large interventional studies have been unable to show a clear benefit (in mostly vitamin D replete populations).
