Skeletal muscle effects are a rare but serious adverse event associated with daptomycin use
Steroid myopathy is usually an insidious disease process that causes weakness mainly to the proximal muscles of the upper and lower limbs and to the neck flexors

Levofloxacin-Induced Neuroexcitation and Hallucinations
Because of their broad-spectrum coverage, fluoroquinolone antibiotics are widely used in the treatment of acute sinusitis and acute exacerbations of chronic sinusitis
Therapeutic recommendations and a diagnostic algorithm in statin-associated myopathy are also proposed
Myalgias are not uncommon, occurring in about 10% of statin users, but myopathy with CK elevation is much rarer (~0
Statin-induced necrotizing autoimmune myopathy with associated anti HMG-CoA reductase antibodies has been identified in SAMS cases and may also account for prolonged symptoms post-therapy 34
In statin myopathies, the creatine kinase (CK) level may be normal or there may be asymptomatic CK increases
Myopathy is derived from the Greek words “myo” for muscle, and “pathy” for suffering which means muscle disease
Since meropenem is hepatically metabolized 25, hepatic disorders might be a risk factor for meropenem-induced rhabdomyolysis
The risk of very serious side effects is extremely low
Around 60% of the patients with Cushing's syndrome develop muscle weakness
