This medicine is used to lower blood lipid levels, and since muscle-related side effects may occur, symptoms such as muscle pain and muscle weakness should be carefully monitored before and during treatment. Special attention should be paid to elderly patients over 65 years old, women, patients with impaired kidney function, and those with hypothyroidism, as they are at higher risk of muscle damage. The risk of muscle damage may increase when taken with other lipid-lowering agents or specific medications, so you must inform your physician of any medications you are currently taking. Patients with liver or kidney problems should consult their doctor before taking this medicine and should undergo regular liver and kidney function tests. This medicine should not be used in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, or children under 18 years of age. Furthermore, individuals who have had allergic reactions or have gallbladder disease, severe pancreatitis, or moderate to severe renal impairment should not take this medication. If abnormal symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle weakness, skin rash, or jaundice occur during use, you should inform your healthcare provider immediately. It is advisable to take this medicine right after a meal, and it is safe to avoid alcohol consumption. Caution is required when driving or operating machinery, as dizziness may occur.
