This medication can affect muscles and rarely cause muscle tissue destruction, leading to kidney issues; therefore, if severe muscle pain or weakness occurs, you must inform your doctor immediately. Persons allergic to this drug, those with liver problems, muscle diseases, pregnant or nursing women, and individuals taking certain other medications should not use this medication. Special caution is needed for alcoholics, individuals with poor liver function, those with weakened kidney function, individuals with hypothyroidism, and elderly patients. During intake of this drug, regular liver function tests and muscle-related tests should be conducted, and treatment should be discontinued immediately if abnormal liver symptoms or worsening muscle pain occur. Drug interactions may occur when taken with other medications, so you must inform your doctor or pharmacist of any current medications, as some may be contraindicated or require dose adjustments. Women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraception during the use of this drug, and it should not be used if planning to become pregnant or if already pregnant. Dizziness or muscle pain may occur, so caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery. This medication is not recommended for children, and it can be used in elderly patients without special dose adjustments, but monitoring for myopathy is necessary. If any abnormal symptoms occur during intake, immediately consult with a healthcare professional and do not discontinue the medication on your own.
