This medication should not be used by individuals with an allergy to its components or children under 18 years of age.

Various side effects may occur during use, with common symptoms including back pain, cold symptoms, dyspepsia, rash, and altered taste sensation.

Before taking this medication, it is important to check triglyceride levels through a blood test and to follow a diet and exercise regimen. Blood tests should be periodically conducted during treatment to monitor the drug's effects and side effects; if there is no effect, discontinuation may be considered. This medication is not indicated for certain types of dyslipidemia, and caution is required due to the lack of experience in combination with other lipid-regulating agents. Regular monitoring of liver function tests such as ALT and LDL cholesterol levels is necessary, and caution must be taken for patients at risk of bleeding, as their bleeding time may be prolonged. In patients with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors, a high dosage may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, so if symptoms appear, immediate discontinuation is advised. Taking this medication with blood thinners or aspirin may increase the risk of bleeding, so if taken together, the coagulation status must be carefully monitored. During pregnancy, safety for the fetus has not been established, so it should only be used when the benefits outweigh the risks, and breastfeeding women should also use it with caution. Safety for children and the elderly has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution should be exercised in these populations.
