Fluvastatin-induced angioedema: a rare case study and literature review
摘要
Angioedema is attributed to various factors including allergic reactions, genetics, immune responses, and several medications. However, its association with statins is rare, with limited research available. We present a case of angioedema suspected to be induced by fluvastatin in a 57 year-old male. Tranexamic acid effectively reduced the tongue edema, highlighting the importance of recognizing statin-induced angioedema and its treatment with tranexamic acid.
