Additionally, high doses are prohibited in patients at high risk of muscle-related side effects.

Patients who consume large amounts of alcohol or have a history of liver disease should exercise extra caution, and if symptoms such as myalgia, muscle weakness, or cramps occur, they should immediately inform their medical provider.
