Drug-induced myopathy

Description

Myopathy caused by drugs that ranges from mild myalgias with or without mild weakness to chronic myopathy with severe weakness, to massive rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure. It could be due to several different mechanisms including direct myotoxicity, immune mediated and indirect muscle damage through drug-induced coma, drug-induced hypokalaemia, drug-induced hyperkinetic states or dystonic states.
