Here is a journal article on this.

Coenzyme Q10 and Statin-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

One line from here;

In humans, exposure to atorvastatin, 80 mg for 14 to 30 days, caused a significant reduction in coenzyme Q10 levels of 34 subjects both at day 14 and at day 30. Baseline levels of coenzyme Q10 decreased from 1.26 to 0.67 µg/mL at 14 days and to 0.62 µg/mL at 30 days.
