Statins are not on the list because there is a very small risk to people who have CMT. It's up to the doctor and the patient. I would not take them. "Normal" people take them and it can cause weakness. I know a few people who do not have CMT that this has happened to while taking them. There are drugs which cause weakness which is unrelated to a worsening of neuropathy. In rare instances they can cause muscle damage and therefore could make a CMT patient worse even though the effect is not on the nerve itself. It is still advised not to take them as far as a person with CMT is concerned. It just makes sense to avoid them if at all possible. Most of the drugs on the medications alert list fall into this category. Other drugs on the list though are not for a CMTer at all.
