“…There is mounting evidence of the mitotoxicity of certain antidiabetic (e.g., metformin) (11), anticancer (e.g., doxorubicin) (13), antiparasitic (e.g., atovaquone) (14), antiviral (e.g., zidovudine) (15), antiepileptic (valproic acid [VPA]) (10), anesthetic (e.g., propofol) (16), anti-inflammatory (e.g., indomethacin) (17), and antiarrhythmic (e.g., carvedinol) (11) drugs. Therefore, taking such drugs can lead to organ damage, particularly damage to the liver (18), kidneys, heart (19), or skeletal muscles (20). Interestingly, these issues affect the most aerobically poised organs (heart and kidneys) or organs exposed to higher concentrations of the drug (liver).…”
