This medication may cause rare side effects that can affect muscles, such as myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. If you experience severe muscle pain or muscle weakness, you should immediately inform your doctor and discontinue use if necessary. Additionally, patients with weakened kidney function or risk factors such as severe infections, trauma, or post-operative states may need to temporarily discontinue the use of this medication. This medication can affect liver function, so liver function tests should be conducted before treatment and regularly monitored during treatment. If symptoms of liver dysfunction (e.g., nausea, vomiting, fatigue) arise, consult a physician. This medication is not to be administered to women who are pregnant or may become pregnant or who are breastfeeding. Appropriate contraceptive measures should be utilized, and if pregnancy is confirmed, the medication should be immediately discontinued. Furthermore, this medication may increase the risk of side effects when taken with certain drugs, so inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medications you are taking. Dizziness or muscle pain may occur, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Elderly patients, patients with liver diseases, or those with a history of alcohol addiction should use this medication with increased caution and undergo regular tests. In cases of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so treatment and supportive therapy symptomatic to the situation are needed, along with careful monitoring of liver function and muscle condition.
