Surprisingly, MS patients treated with atorvastatin seemed to get worse. Ten of the 17 patients who received either 40 mg or 80 mg of atorvastatin had either a relapse or a new lesion on MRI. Only 1 of 9 patients taking placebo had a relapse with active lesions on MRI. In the end, the authors decided that the 40 mg or 80 mg of atorvastatin, taken with interferon, worsened the MS.
