What precautions apply to Fluvastatin Sodium?

When prescribing fluvastatin, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

Monitor liver function tests: assess baseline transaminases and repeat periodically. Assess renal function: dose adjustment may be needed in renal impairment.

Avoid in active liver disease: contraindicated with significant hepatic dysfunction. Store below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.
