Cholesterol medication can increase the level of creatine kinase. Hence it is highly recommended to keep an eye on the level of creatine kinase (CK) if one is taking cholesterol medication. High level of CK can affect the muscles including the heart and kidneys. I am on cholesterol medication for ten years and only found out about the high level of CK after constant pain in the body muscles. My CK was three times the normal value and hence doctor had to change the type of cholesterol medication. They are many other factors that can cause the increase in CK but definitely those people on cholesterol medication are highly recommended to get their CK tested once in a while.
