Especially, in cases of muscle pain or weakness, and a significant increase in creatine kinase levels in blood tests, immediate consultation with a physician is necessary. This medication should not be administered to certain patients. For example, individuals who are allergic to this medication or its components, those with severely impaired liver function, patients with muscle diseases, pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, nursing mothers, children under 18 years of age, and patients taking certain antiviral drugs should not use this medication. Patients with a history of alcohol abuse or liver disease, as well as those with compromised kidney function, hypothyroidism, a history of hereditary muscle disorders, patients who have previously experienced muscle toxicity, and elderly individuals should use this medication with caution. These patients should verify their muscle condition through blood tests before medication and undergo regular monitoring during treatment.

Pregnant or nursing women should not use this medication, and women of childbearing age must use appropriate contraception while taking it.
