Patients with impaired liver function, alcohol dependence, elderly patients, or those with specific disease histories should use this drug with caution and undergo regular monitoring of liver and muscle conditions. If symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, or fever occur during treatment, the physician should be informed immediately and blood tests should check for muscle damage. Liver function abnormalities may occur, so liver enzyme levels should be monitored before and during treatment, and treatment should be stopped if signs of liver damage appear. This medication should not be used in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, and fertile women should employ adequate contraception during treatment. There may be symptoms such as dizziness, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery.

The safety for pediatric patients has not been established, and it is not recommended for this group, as older patients have an increased risk of muscle-related side effects. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, and appropriate treatment and supportive care must be given depending on the symptoms, with monitoring of liver function and muscle enzyme levels.
