This medication can occasionally cause a serious side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, which can result in rapid deterioration of kidney function. Therefore, if severe muscle pain or weakness occurs, it is important to inform a physician immediately, and caution is needed in patients with muscle disorders or renal dysfunction. Additionally, patients who are allergic to any components of this medication, have impaired liver function, active liver disease, or are pregnant or nursing should not take this medication. Since this medication can affect liver function, regular liver function tests should be conducted before and during treatment, and if symptoms of hepatitis or jaundice occur, use should be discontinued immediately. This medication may interact with other drugs, so discussing with a physician regarding dose adjustments or discontinuation may be necessary, especially for drugs metabolized in the liver or those that may impact muscle. Elderly patients, those with compromised liver function, and patients with hypothyroidism are at higher risk for muscle-related adverse effects and should be carefully monitored. Women planning to become pregnant should consult a physician before taking this medication and should use appropriate contraception while taking it; if pregnancy is confirmed, discontinuation should occur immediately. Dizziness or muscle pain may occur, so caution is advised while driving or operating machinery. Regular blood tests and symptom monitoring during treatment is vital to detect any adverse reactions early and take appropriate measures.
