This medication may cause muscle pain or weakness, and in severe cases, muscle tissue destruction may lead to kidney function problems. Therefore, you should immediately inform your doctor if you experience muscle pain or weakness, and necessary tests should be performed to check for muscle damage. Additionally, this drug can affect liver function, so routine liver function tests should be conducted before and during treatment. It should not be taken in cases of active liver disease or when liver enzyme levels are abnormally high. Pregnant or nursing women should not take this medication, and women of childbearing age should only take it when the possibility of pregnancy is very low. The risk of muscle damage may increase when taken with certain drugs, so be sure to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications being taken. In particular, co-administration with antifungal agents, certain antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and specific heart medications should be avoided, and excessive grapefruit juice should also be limited. Elderly patients or those with reduced kidney or liver function should exercise greater caution when taking this medication, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. If you experience unexplained muscle pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, or jaundice symptoms during treatment, consult your healthcare provider immediately. This medication is not recommended for use in children or adolescents under 20 years of age, as safety and efficacy have not been established. There is no specific antidote in case of overdose, so following the prescribed dosage is very important.
