This medication should not be used in certain patients. For instance, it is contraindicated for individuals with allergies to this drug or similar medications, severe liver dysfunction, pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with muscular diseases, patients with severe aortic stenosis, severe hypotension, or who have had a myocardial infarction within the past month. Additionally, patients with very poor kidney function, elderly individuals, alcoholics, those with a history of liver disease, or those predisposed to muscle-related diseases should use this medication with caution. Generally, this medication has good tolerability, but side effects such as hypotension, dizziness, headache, muscle pain, dyspepsia, and rash can occur occasionally. If symptoms of liver dysfunction or muscle-related abnormalities develop, notify a healthcare provider immediately. Women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraception while taking this medication and must discontinue it immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Breastfeeding women should also avoid this medication. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if you are taking other medications, be sure to inform your doctor or pharmacist. Caution is particularly needed when used in combination with drugs that affect liver function or muscle effects. In the case of overdose, there is a risk of severe hypotension, shock, pulmonary edema, and immediate emergency treatment is required, as this medication is not removed by hemodialysis. Safety in children and the elderly has not been sufficiently established, so special care is needed.
