In particular, patients over 70 years old, those with impaired kidney or liver function, hypothyroidism, or a history of muscle diseases should have their muscle enzyme levels checked before taking this medication. Regular blood tests to monitor muscle enzyme levels should be conducted both before and during treatment, and consultation with medical personnel should be sought immediately if there are symptoms such as muscle pain or weakness.
