This medication should not be used in pregnant women and must be stopped immediately if pregnancy is confirmed, as it can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn. Patients with allergies to the active ingredients or components of this medication, specific hereditary diseases, or severe liver or kidney diseases should avoid using it. Additionally, patients with certain muscle diseases or a history of muscle-related side effects in the past should also avoid its use. Some patients, such as those with hypertension, liver function impairment, the elderly, and those with hyperkalemia, require special caution when using this medication. If muscle pain or weakness occurs, it is crucial to consult a doctor immediately. This medication lowers blood pressure, so caution is necessary for patients with hypotension or cardiovascular diseases. To prevent muscle-related side effects, it is recommended to regularly check muscle enzyme levels before starting and during treatment. As this medication can affect liver function, periodic monitoring of liver enzyme levels is also required. When taken together with other medications, drug interactions may occur, so it is essential to inform the doctor or pharmacist of any other medications being used. Particularly, concomitant use with certain antibiotics, antifungals, immunosuppressants, and some antivirals may increase the risk of muscle side effects. Women who may become pregnant should use appropriate contraception while taking this medication, and it is advisable for breastfeeding mothers to avoid this medication. Safety and effectiveness have not been sufficiently confirmed for children and adolescents under 18 years, so its use is not recommended. In case of overdose, symptoms such as hypotension, dizziness, and heart rhythm abnormalities may occur, requiring immediate medical assistance.
