This medication can potentially induce severe muscle damage called rhabdomyolysis, which could lead to rapid deterioration of kidney function. If severe muscle pain or weakness occurs, consult a physician immediately. This medication should not be used in patients with allergies to the active ingredients or components, active liver disease, or abnormally elevated liver enzyme levels, muscle disorders, pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients taking certain antiviral medications, and those with lactose intolerance. Patients at risk for muscle damage, such as alcoholics, individuals with poor liver function, impaired kidney function, hypothyroid patients, those with a family history of muscle disorders, and the elderly should use this medication cautiously, and special attention is needed if taken alongside other drugs that may affect muscles. This medication may affect liver function, so regular liver function tests are recommended before and during use. Immediate medical attention is needed if symptoms of liver damage, such as fatigue, nausea, or vomiting, occur. This medication should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and women of childbearing age should employ suitable contraception while taking it. Side effects such as dizziness, muscle pain, or abdominal pain may occur; if these symptoms persist, consult a physician. There may be drug interactions while taking this medication, so informing healthcare providers of any other medications being taken is essential, especially when combined with certain antibiotics, antivirals, immunosuppressants, and fibrates. Elderly patients or those with impaired kidney function require special caution when taking this medication, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. In the case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, and treatment should be symptomatic with supportive therapy; liver function and muscle-related tests need to monitor the condition. This medication is not recommended for children due to a lack of established safety and efficacy.
