This medication may rarely cause serious problems with muscles, so patients should consult their doctor immediately if they experience sudden muscle pain or weakness. Due to muscle damage, kidney function issues may arise, so patients with a history of kidney disease or those with risk factors such as severe infections, major surgery, or trauma should be particularly cautious. This medication may affect liver function, so regular liver function tests should be conducted before and during treatment, and the medication may be discontinued if liver function deteriorates seriously. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should not take this medication, and fertile women should use adequate contraception during treatment. Taking this medicine in conjunction with certain other medications may increase drug levels and the risk of muscle damage, so patients should inform their doctor of any concurrent medications. This medication is not recommended for children as its safety and efficacy have not been established, and caution is needed for elderly patients due to a higher risk of muscle problems. Patients may experience dizziness or fatigue while taking this medication; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. In case of overdose, treatment should focus on symptoms, and liver function and muscle condition should be monitored closely.
