This medication may pose the risk of a rare side effect known as rhabdomyolysis, which can cause serious muscle problems. Patients with severe infections, low blood pressure, major surgery or trauma, or metabolic disorders may need to temporarily discontinue or stop this medication. Patients allergic to any component of this medication or those with active liver disease or muscle disorders should not use it. Furthermore, women who are pregnant, potentially pregnant, or breastfeeding should not take this medication. Patients sensitive to lactose, which is included in this medication, should also avoid administration. Patients with alcohol dependence, poor liver function, reduced kidney function, or hypothyroidism should use this medication with caution. Special care is needed for elderly patients over 70 years old, those with previous muscle problems, and those taking specific medications. While taking this medication, side effects such as muscle pain, abdominal pain, and liver function abnormalities may occur, and if these symptoms are severe, consultation with a doctor is advised. Regular liver function test and muscle enzyme (CPK) assessments should be conducted, and treatment should be stopped immediately if abnormalities are found. This medication may affect liver function, so patients with liver disease or elevated liver enzyme levels must undergo testing before use. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication, and women of childbearing age should practice appropriate contraception while using it. Safety and efficacy in children have not been established, and caution is necessary for elderly patients due to a higher likelihood of muscle issues. This medication may interact with other drugs, especially those affecting liver metabolism or muscles, so patients should inform their doctor and be closely monitored. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so treatment should be symptomatic, and liver function and muscle enzymes should be monitored.
