This medication can cause serious muscle diseases such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis that affect the muscles. Special caution is needed if the patient has impaired kidney function, liver disease, hypothyroidism, is elderly, or is taking certain medications, as the risk may be increased. If muscle pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, or muscle pain accompanied by fever occurs, the patient must inform their doctor immediately and undergo examination. The drug can also affect liver function, so regular liver enzyme tests should be conducted before and during treatment, and the treatment should be discontinued if liver dysfunction symptoms appear. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should not take this drug, and women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraceptive methods while taking it. This drug is not recommended for children since safety and efficacy have not been established. Elderly patients should be monitored closely for the risk of myopathy, but no dosage adjustment is necessary. This drug can interact with several other medications, so patients taking other drugs should consult their doctor or pharmacist. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote available; appropriate treatment and supportive therapy are needed according to the symptoms, and liver function and muscle-related tests should be conducted.
