This medication can rarely cause muscle damage leading to serious kidney problems; therefore, if severe muscle pain or weakness occurs, the doctor must be notified immediately. Patients with allergies to any components of this medication, severely impaired liver function, muscle disease, certain kidney dysfunctions, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication. Caution should be exercised if there is a history of muscle disease or liver disease, in elderly individuals, alcoholics, or if taken in combination with certain medications, requiring regular blood tests and monitoring by a physician. During treatment with this medication, if symptoms such as muscle pain, cramps, weakness, fatigue, or fever occur, the patient must consult a doctor immediately and may need to undergo testing for muscle damage indicators (CPK) in the blood. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so liver function tests should be done before starting this medication, and if signs of liver damage occur during treatment, tests should be repeated. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should avoid taking this medication, and if pregnancy is confirmed during treatment, it must be stopped immediately. The safety and efficacy of this medication in children and adolescents have not been adequately established; therefore, it is not recommended for pediatric use. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if other medications are being taken, the patient must inform their doctor or pharmacist. In cases of overdose, there is no specific antidote, and treatment according to symptoms and monitoring of liver function and muscle damage indicators are necessary.
