This medication may rarely cause a side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, which damages muscle tissue and can lead to serious kidney dysfunction. Therefore, patients experiencing severe muscle issues or at high risk for muscle damage should suspend or discontinue use of this medication. Patients who are allergic to any of the components of this medication, have severe liver dysfunction, have muscle disorders, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking certain other medications should not take this medication. Caution should be exercised in patients with a history of alcoholism or liver disease, those with severe liver dysfunction, high risk for myopathy, elderly patients, or those taking specific other medications. If muscle pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, fever, or other symptoms occur during treatment, patients should immediately notify their healthcare provider and check muscle enzyme levels. Liver function abnormalities may arise, so liver function tests should be conducted before administration, and periodic checks of liver function status should continue during treatment. This medication should not be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding women, and women of childbearing age should employ appropriate contraception. Its safety in children has not been established and is therefore not recommended. Elderly patients should be cautious as they are at higher risk for muscle complications. This medication can interact with various drugs, so patients taking other medications must inform their healthcare provider, and dose adjustments or usage restrictions may be necessary when combined with certain drugs. In case of overdose, treatment should be conducted according to symptoms, and liver function and muscle enzyme levels should be monitored. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and should not be transferred to another container.
