This medication carries a risk of serious problems with muscles, so immediately notify a doctor if sudden muscle pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, or fever occurs. Since muscle damage can lead to kidney function deterioration, it may be necessary to temporarily discontinue the medication after serious infections, major surgery, or in patients with kidney disease. This medication can affect liver function, so liver function tests should be performed before administering it, and liver health should be monitored regularly during use. Patients with liver disease or significantly elevated liver enzyme levels should not use this medication.

This medication may have an increased risk of muscle damage when taken with certain drugs, so if other medications are being taken, inform your doctor or pharmacist. It is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Caution is necessary when administering to the elderly due to the risk of myopathy, but no specific dose adjustment is needed. In case of overdose, as there is no specific antidote, appropriate treatment and monitoring of liver and muscle-related tests should be conducted based on symptoms.
