      Statins side effects:
      Rush, vomiting, headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, constipation, weakness, nausea, and abnormal liver test results.
      More severe and rare side effects:
      - Rhabdomyolysis, which involves damage to muscles and may lead to kidney failure, and death.
      - Serious liver damage (may be indicated if liver test results values are 3 times higher than the normal ones).
