Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with myopathy, for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, for nursing women, and for children due to lack of experience.

Patients with impaired liver function, those who consume excessive alcohol, those with kidney function abnormalities, those with hypothyroidism or a history of muscle-related diseases, and the elderly should use this medication with caution. Particularly, when taken with fibrates or niacin, the risk of muscle damage may increase, so co-administration should be avoided or done carefully.

This medication should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding as it may harm the fetus or neonate, and it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is planned or confirmed. For children, it is generally recommended not to use due to lack of confirmed safety and efficacy. For the elderly, dosing adjustment is not necessary, but careful observation is required as they may experience side effects due to declining bodily functions. This medication may interact with other drugs, so caution is needed when used particularly with cyclosporine, fibrates, niacin, antibiotics, and anticoagulants.
