For example, patients with allergies to any components of this medication, those with severe liver dysfunction, patients with muscle disorders, those with significantly impaired kidney function, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and women of childbearing age who are not using appropriate contraceptives should not take this medication.

Such patients include those with decreased kidney function, hypothyroidism, a history of genetic muscle disorders, alcohol abuse, and the elderly. If symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle weakness, cramps, fatigue, or fever appear during use, immediate medical attention should be sought for examination. If these symptoms are severe or if blood test results are abnormal, discontinuation of the medication may be necessary.
