We all are aware of myalgia and myopathic side effects of statins. Recent journal of Lancet medicine discusses this as a "nocebo" effect just the opposite of placebo effects.

Statins are well known for its pleiotropic effects apart from lipid lowering, so naturally, we can expect unwanted and warranted side effects. Don't you feel so? Give your valuable opinions.
