" the review, only four side-effects out of 66 listed were found to have any association with taking statins, and only in a very small proportion of patients.
The four were:
liver test changes
minor liver abnormalities
urine changes
tissue swelling/swollen ankles
There was no increase in liver disease such as hepatitis or liver failure, suggesting that the liver blood test changes did not lead to more serious liver problems."
