This medication should not be used in patients with severe liver dysfunction as its effects may become excessive. Furthermore, it should be avoided in patients taking certain antiepileptic medications such as Rifampicin, Phenobarbital, Phenytoin, and Carbamazepine, as the effectiveness of this medication may be reduced.

Patients with cerebral edema or increased intracranial pressure, patients with impaired liver or kidney function, and patients with hypotension should use it with caution, and blood pressure and electrocardiogram conditions should be closely monitored to adjust the dosage if necessary. This medication is metabolized in the liver through a specific enzyme (CYP3A4), so caution is needed when taking medications that inhibit or promote the action of this enzyme, as they may change the blood concentration of this medication. For example, some antibiotics, antifungals, antidepressants, and antiepileptics fall into this category, so blood pressure changes should be monitored when taken together. Taking this medication may cause side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, hypotension, and swelling. In severe cases, thrombocytopenia or hypersensitivity reactions may occur, so if any abnormal symptoms arise, consult a doctor immediately. Dizziness may occur, so caution is needed when driving a car or operating dangerous machinery. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid taking this medication due to the lack of established safety, and if unavoidable, nursing should be discontinued. The safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution should be exercised in use. In the elderly, it should be used cautiously with regular check-ups if kidney function or cardiovascular function is significantly impaired. In case of overdose, symptoms such as hypotension, pulse abnormalities, gastrointestinal discomfort, or central nervous system symptoms may occur, so medication should be stopped immediately and emergency treatment sought.
