This medication has been reported to cause a rare side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, which can lead to severe muscle damage. Promptly inform your doctor if you experience severe muscle pain or weakness, as this can lead to a rapid decline in kidney function. Patients with weakened kidney function due to severe infection, hypotension, major surgery, trauma, metabolic disorders, etc., may need to temporarily discontinue or stop taking this medication. This medication should not be taken by individuals with allergies to its active ingredient or components, those with liver disease or unexplained persistent liver enzyme elevations, those with muscle diseases, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, or individuals taking certain other medications. Patients with a history of alcohol addiction or liver disease, those with compromised kidney function, those with hypothyroidism, those with a family history of muscle disease, patients who previously experienced muscle toxicity with similar medications, or elderly patients over 70 years old should use caution when taking this medication. During treatment, if symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, fever, etc. occur, please inform your doctor immediately and, if necessary, perform blood tests to check for muscle damage. Liver dysfunction may also occur, so liver function tests should be conducted before and during administration, and if signs of liver damage appear, treatment should be stopped immediately. This medication should not be taken during pregnancy or lactation, and fertile women should maintain adequate contraception while taking it. Additionally, since this medication interacts with multiple drugs, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medications, particularly those metabolized by the liver.
