Department of Internal Medicine, Howard University Hospital.

Dual antiplatelet agentsĀ and high-intensity statins are frequently used in combination after myocardial infarction. Ticagrelor has the potential of causing acute kidney injury. Rosuvastatin is excreted through the kidneys and dose adjustment is needed in patients with kidney disease. When used in combination, they can potentiate the toxic effects of each other. We report a case of drug interaction between rosuvastatin and ticagrelor resulting in rhabdomyolysis andĀ acute renal failure necessitating dialysis. This case stresses the importance of monitoring renal function and adjusting the dose of rosuvastatin accordingly in patients with kidney disease.
