This medication has been reported to have a rare side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, which can cause serious muscle damage. If severe muscle pain or weakness occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Additionally, patients with renal impairment, serious infections, major surgery, trauma, or metabolic abnormalities may need to temporarily suspend or discontinue this medication. This medication should not be used in individuals with allergies to the active or inactive ingredients, severely impaired liver function, muscle disorders, or in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, it is contraindicated in patients with significantly impaired renal function or when used in conjunction with certain medications. Patients at high risk for muscle-related side effects, such as those with a history of alcohol dependence or liver disease, the elderly, and those with hypothyroidism, should be treated with caution, and the condition of the muscles should be closely monitored before and during treatment. Regular liver function tests and muscle enzyme tests should be performed to determine if there are any abnormal signs, and if abnormalities are found, treatment should be adjusted or discontinued immediately. Women of childbearing potential should use adequate contraception while taking this medication, and should discontinue it immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established.
