Statins can rarely cause muscle injury (myopathy/rhabdomyolysis); seek medical help for unexplained muscle pain/weakness, fever, or dark urine. Use caution in patients with kidney problems, hypothyroidism, heavy alcohol use, or elderly (higher myopathy risk). Periodic lipid profile and liver function monitoring may be advised. Not recommended in pregnancy; avoid breastfeeding.
