1. Digestive system: It may cause elevation of transaminases, leading to abnormal liver function, and may also irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
2. Nervous system: It may cause dizziness, headache, and fatigue, etc. The cause of such symptoms is still unclear.
3. Musculoskeletal system: It may cause elevated phosphocreatine kinase, leading to muscle aches and pains.

Liver function and phosphocreatine kinase should be rechecked regularly during the use of the drug, and if any discomfort occurs, the patient should seek medical attention in time to avoid serious adverse reactions.
