Drug related myopathies are frequent. A history of use of medication is essential for its diagnosis. Without taking into account alcohol, drugs that frequently induce myopathies are steroids, colchicine, antimalarials, statins and cocaine. They can present muscle pain, proximal weakness and an increase in muscle enzymes. Suspension of the offending drug can lead to a cure in most of the cases.
