Statins and Liver Damage. Some people may develop liver-related side effects while taking statins. These may include hepatitis, jaundice, or an increase in liver enzymes. Possible symptoms of liver damage may include nausea, stomach pain, and yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Switch to another statin drug. It's possible, although unlikely, that one particular statin may cause side effects for you while another statin won't. It's thought that simvastatin (Zocor) may be more likely to cause muscle pain as a side effect than other statins when it's taken at high doses. Change your dose. Lowering your dose may reduce some of your side effects, but it may also reduce some of the cholesterol-lowering benefits your medication has.
