Abstract
|
|
|
One case of bezafibrate-induced myopathy was experienced and presented with a brief review of literatures. A 80-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus developed generalized myalgia and chest tightness 2 days before admission. The patient was
treated
with
bezafibrate (800mg/day) for the previous 3 months. Serum creatinge kinase, LDh and AST were markedly increased. Muscle biopsy revealed type 2 fiber atrophy. Withdrawal of the drug under the impression of bezafibrate-induced myopathy was followed
by
rapid clinical improvement.
