This drug has rare side effects that may cause muscle problems, so if severe muscle pain or myopathy occurs, use should be discontinued immediately. Patients with liver dysfunction or liver disease should not use this drug and should undergo regular liver function tests. This drug is contraindicated in patients with severely impaired renal function or myopathy. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should not use this drug.

Caution is required for alcoholics or patients with a history of liver disease when using this drug and should be administered more carefully if factors for myopathy risk are present. Drug interactions can occur when combined with other medications, so it is advisable to consult a doctor, especially when taking cyclosporine, fibrate drugs, certain antifungals, and antivirals. If symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle cramps, muscle weakness, fatigue, and fever occur while taking this medication, patients should notify medical personnel immediately, and blood tests may be needed to check for muscle damage. If liver enzyme levels increase in blood tests, dose adjustment or discontinuation may be necessary, so regular liver function tests are recommended. Elderly patients are at higher risk for myopathy, so caution is needed when administering. While taking this medication, patients should be careful as dizziness may occur when driving or operating machinery. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so treatment and supportive care should be given based on symptoms, and liver function and muscle damage should be monitored.
