| Response from Mr. Vergel
 Myopathy is a condition possibly related to mitochodrial toxicity that causes muscle weakness. Zerit and AZT have been documented to cause this problem. Taking Carnitine supplements at 2000 mg a day may improve the condition. Strength training and possibly anabolic agents may also reverse the problem. Nelson | ||||||||
