I believe the answer is: Muscle myopathy

Muscle myopathy refers to a form of diseases that caused the muscle fibers in our body to not be able to function properly. Fouranocoumarins is known to bind with the enzyme CYP3A4 and inactivate it, which lead to the creation of high level of statin in the bloodstream, which would cause the a deterioration in muscle fibers.
