This medication may rarely cause a condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can lead to serious kidney problems due to muscle tissue damage. Therefore, if severe muscle pain or muscle weakness occurs, patients should inform their doctor immediately and discontinue treatment. This medication should not be used by individuals with allergies to the active ingredient or other components, those with liver or muscle diseases, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those taking certain other medications. Patients with poor liver function, alcohol dependence, the elderly, or those with reduced kidney function should use this medication with special caution. Regular liver function tests and muscle-related tests should be performed while taking this medication, and immediate consultation with healthcare providers should occur if abnormal symptoms arise. Additionally, this medication may interact with other drugs, so patients must inform their healthcare provider about any medications they are taking, especially antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and immunosuppressants. Women who may become pregnant must use effective contraception while taking this medication and discontinue use immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Caution is advised when driving or operating machinery due to possible symptoms like dizziness, muscle pain, and abdominal pain. This medication is not recommended for children as its safety and effectiveness have not been established. In case of overdose, no specific antidote exists, hence symptom-oriented treatment and supportive care are required with monitoring of liver function and muscle condition. Keep out of reach of children and avoid transferring to other containers.
