Adverse effects such as indigestion, headaches, dizziness, and skin rashes may occur during the use of this medication, so if any unusual symptoms persist, a consultation with a doctor is advised. Patients with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors may require regular check-ups as there is a potential for side effects such as atrial fibrillation during medication use.

Regular blood tests should be conducted during treatment to monitor liver function and cholesterol levels, and if no effects are observed, discontinuation of the medication may be necessary.
