Myopathy associated with chronic orlistat consumption: a case report.
The pathogenesis of myopathy due to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is not entirely clear but the existence of myopathy due to other lipid-lowering medications suggests it is mediated through effects on lipid metabolism. We describe a patient who developed a myopathy after 27 months of ingestion of orlistat that slowly improved after discontinuation of the drug. Orlistat may have caused this myopathy through depletion of a critical nutrient or through some as of yet undefined mechanism.
