This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, it can be risky for patients who are allergic to this medication, have severely impaired liver function, have muscle diseases, have severely impaired kidney function, are pregnant or nursing women, and those taking specific medications. It is important to regularly monitor liver function and muscle condition while using this medication. Special caution is required for those with a history of liver disease or heavy alcohol consumption. If symptoms of muscle pain or weakness occur, the patient should inform a healthcare professional immediately and discontinue the medication if necessary. While muscle-related side effects are rare, they can be serious, so careful observation is required. This drug contains lactose, so patients with lactose intolerance should avoid it. When used in combination with other medications, the blood levels of this drug may increase, leading to a higher risk of muscle-related side effects; therefore, patients should discuss their current medications with their healthcare provider. Women who may become pregnant should use appropriate contraceptive methods and should not use this drug during pregnancy. If a pregnancy occurs, the drug should be discontinued immediately. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so management should involve symptomatic treatment and liver function and muscle enzyme testing.
