Another Statin, Another Myalgia

A 60-year-old man with coronary artery disease comes in today for a follow-up appointment. At his last visit, you had initiated pravastatin after he experienced myalgia with both simvastatin and lovastatin. He reports to you that he stopped taking the pravastatin a few weeks ago, again because of myalgia.
