See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Drug-induced myopathy has been reported with use of lovastatin,nicotinic acid,and clofibrate.A particularly severe form,often accompanied by rhabdomyolysis,has been reported with the use of lovastatin and gemfibrozil;however,as far as we know,no case has been documented with use of gemfibrozil alone.Herein,we report the first case(to our knowledge)of gemfibrozil-induced myopathy,confirmed by drug rechallenge.
