Statin Issue and Safety • Erectile Dysfunction
• Haemorrhagic Stroke • Myopathy • New Onset Diabetes • Dementia
Are the use of statin can cause erectile dysfunction?
11
• Based on study conducted by Saltzman Erin A et al (published in journal urology 2004) shows that Atorvastatin improve erectile function in men with hypercholesterolemia • Atorvastatin mechanism to improve ED – Atorvastatin have the ability to lowering plasma cholesterol by blocking oxidize-LDL – Atorvastatin have antioxidant effect – Increase Nitric Oxide 12

Statins (+/-) sildenafil may improve ED compared with placebo (+/- sildenafil) Cui Y, J sex Med 2014;11:1367-1375
Conclusion There is no clear evidence that statin will cause ED, however ED may be caused by hypercholesterolemia (atherosclerosis).
Some of the study proves that by using statin in patient with hypercholesterolemia will improves their erectile function. 16
Are the use of statin associate with haemorrhagic stroke?
17
Role of lipids in Cerebrovascular disease • There are a strong association between total and LDL cholesterol with ischemic stroke risk, especially for atherosclerotic subtype • Conversely there is an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage at the low end of spectrum of total and LDL cholesterol level

Rhabdomyolysis: Widespread muscle injury with CK >10x ULN and accompanying organ (renal) damage. Myoglobinuria/emia feature
• Myalgia, myopathy and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis have been reported in patients treated with all statins
• Some Statin have more incidence than the others

Statins & New onset diabetes?

http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ ConsumerUpdates/ucm293330.htm
new onset diabetes & memory loss is class effect of all Statins
Are statins really diabetogenic?
Statin therapy significantly reduces CV events among individuals with and without a history of diabetes.1,2 Intensive statin therapy has been shown to further reduce CV events1,3 A recent meta-analysis demonstrated that statin therapy is associated with an excess risk of developing diabetes4 Findings from three large trials comparing intensive to moderate dose statin therapy have suggested an excess risk of incident diabetes among those on intensive regimens5,6 1.

New Onset Diabetes with Statin ?
• Statin therapy was associated with a 9% increased risk for incident diabetes, but this does not show CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP • This is retrospective data and did not consider number of Diabetes risk factors (such as BMI, HbA1c, family history, lipid level, BP, etc) for both Statin & Placebo groups. • Statins might be preferentially used in patients at higher risk of diabetes, thus NOD might happen in those patients who already have risk factors of developing Diabetes, not exclusively because of Statin usage itself
Statin use is associated with a modest increase in risk (~10 – 12%) for new onset od T2DM, compared with placebo or usual care Endocrinol Metab Clon N Am 2016;45(1):87-100 34
• Intensive dosage of statin therapy seems to increase diabetes risk beyond that of moderate dosage statin therapy • Excess risk for diabetes with statin use is most clearly evident in those with major risk factors for diabetes • The CV benefits of statin therapy outweighth the potential risk for diabetes development Endocrinol Metab Clon N Am 2016;45(1):87-100

Reports of Memory Loss
The reports about memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion span all statin products and all age groups. Egan says these experiences are rare but that those affected often report feeling “fuzzy” or unfocused in their thinking. In general, the symptoms were not serious and were reversible within a few weeks after the patient stopped using the statin. Some people affected in this way had been taking the medicine for a day; others had been taking it for years.
What should patients do if they fear that statin use could be clouding their thinking? “Talk to your health care professional,” Egan says. “Don’t stop taking the medication; the
consequences to your heart could be far greater.”

Summary Meta-analysis of statin trials suggests that CV benefits outweigh the risk of NOD & memory loss While statin therapy is associated with a slightly increased risk of development of diabetes, the risk is low in absolute terms and also very low when compared with the statininduced reduction in coronary events in people with diabetes On the basis of this evidence, the use of statins in patients with moderate or high CV risk or with existing CVD should not change
