A high percentage of oral symptoms observed in the study included dry mouth, itchiness, bitterness and cough during statin therapy.
What’s more, they observed a marked improvement in patients after they temporarily interrupted their statin treatment.
The authors added: “This study included a relatively small number of patients and a more thorough and detailed design of experimental treatments is needed to establish a true correlation between statin treatments and oral symptoms.”
Dry mouth, or xerostomia, is the most common oral side effect of the cholesterol-lowering drug, according to Endocrine Abstracts.
