Common statin-related side effects (headaches, stomach upset, abnormal liver function tests and muscle cramps) were similar to other statins. However,<unk>  seems to lead to fewer muscle side effects than certain statins that are lipid-soluble, as a result of the fact that<unk>  is water-soluble (as is pravastatin, for example). One study found that coenzyme Q10 was not reduced as much as with certain other statins (though this is unlikely given the inherent chemistry of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway that all statin drugs inhibit). As opposed to other statins, there is evidence that<unk>  improves insulin resistance in humans, with insulin resistance assessed by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) method. Hyperuricemia or increased levels of serum uric acid have been reported with<unk> .
