Myotoxicity

Myotoxicity refers to damage caused to muscles by certain substances, such as specific medications or chemicals. It can lead to muscle pain, weakness, or even muscle breakdown, which might result in the release of harmful substances into the bloodstream. In some cases, this damage can be temporary or may cause long-term issues if not identified and managed promptly. Myotoxicity is an important consideration when using drugs known to affect muscles, and monitoring muscle health is essential to prevent or minimize potential muscle-related side effects.
