Product introduction

You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat. It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly.

Common side effects of this medicine include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and disappear after a short time. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you notice any yellowing of your eyes or get repeated or unexplained muscle pains.

This medicine should not be used in conditions such as liver disease. Also, pregnant women and breastfeeding women should not take this medicine, as it may harm the developing baby.
