Abstract
⺠Study investigated if statins prevent acute-phase response to aminobisphosphonates. ⺠Zoledronic acid increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in post-menopausal women. ⺠Zoledronic acid induced flu-like symptoms in >50% study participants. ⺠Fluvastatin did not prevent symptoms or cytokine release induced by zoledronic acid. ⺠Fluvastatin does not prevent the acute-phase response to zoledronic acid.
