Incidence of Hospitalized Rhabdomyloysis in Patients Treated With Lipid-Lowering Drugs
JAMA 292:2585-2590, Graham,D.J.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis risk was similar and low for monotherapy with atorvastatin, pravastatin, and simvastatin; combined statin-fibrate use increased risk, especially in older patients with diabetes mellitus. Cerivastatin combined with fibrate conferred a risk of approximately 1 in 10 treated patients per year.
