This medicine should not be used in patients with poor liver function. It should not be administered to patients with moderate to severe kidney dysfunction due to the risk of rhabdomyolysis, which can cause serious muscle damage. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should not take this medication. Patients allergic to this medicine or its components should also refrain from taking it. Patients with gallbladder diseases or gallstones should use caution, as this medication may worsen gallstones. Patients who have experienced photosensitivity reactions while using fibrates or ketoprofen should not be administered this medicine. Children cannot take this medication. Patients with lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders should also avoid this medication. Patients allergic to soybean oil, soybeans, or peanuts should refrain from using this medication. Caution is advised for patients with mild kidney impairment or liver dysfunction; dosing should be adjusted and intervals increased as necessary. Patients with blood coagulation disorders or those taking anticoagulants should be vigilant due to the risk of bleeding. Regular monitoring of liver function tests and blood lipid levels is required during the course of this treatment, and adjustments or cessation should be made if abnormalities are found. Rashes, itching, and photosensitivity reactions may occur on the skin, so it is advisable to avoid sun exposure. If symptoms such as muscle pain, cramps, or weakness occur, immediate consultation with a physician is necessary, and in severe cases, discontinuation of the medication is required. Regular blood tests are necessary as there may be a decrease in blood cell counts or abnormalities in liver and kidney functions. This medication may interact with other drugs, especially statins, anticoagulants, and hypoglycemic agents, so caution is necessary when co-administered. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so the prescribed dosage must be strictly followed. It should be kept out of the reach of children, and it is safe not to transfer it to another container.
