This medication has a risk of severe muscle problems, so if symptoms of muscle pain or weakness occur, you must notify your doctor immediately. In particular, significant muscle damage can worsen kidney function, so it may be necessary to temporarily suspend this medication in cases of acute infections, hypotension, major surgery, or trauma. Patients with allergies to this medication, liver or muscle diseases, severe kidney impairment, pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take this medication. Additionally, the risk of muscle damage may increase when taken with certain drugs, so it is essential to inform your healthcare provider if you are taking other medications. Patients with poor liver function, those who consume alcohol heavily, elderly individuals, and those with hypothyroidism should use this medication cautiously and should have regular liver and muscle-related tests. During use, liver enzyme levels and muscle enzyme levels should be regularly checked for abnormalities, and if there is significant liver damage or worsening muscle pain, usage should be stopped immediately, and a doctor's care should be sought. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use contraception while taking this medication, as it could be harmful to the fetus, and use should be stopped immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication is not recommended for children and adolescents as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established. Elderly individuals are at an increased risk of myopathy, so caution is necessary during use. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so treatment should be provided according to symptoms, and liver and muscle function tests should be performed. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers. Caution should be taken while driving or operating machinery as dizziness may occur.
