This medication should not be used in patients with acute circulatory failure or severe hypotension, or in cases of acute myocardial infarction. Patients with allergies to nitrate preparations, severe anemia, traumatic head injury, or cerebral hemorrhage should also avoid this medication. Additionally, patients taking this medication should not combine it with certain erectile dysfunction treatments, as this may cause severe side effects. Caution is advised for patients with closed-angle glaucoma, hypothyroidism, severe liver and kidney diseases, or orthostatic control disorders. Initial use may cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and low blood pressure, but these usually resolve over time. Liver function impairment, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, and other side effects may occur, and if symptoms worsen, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. This medication is not suitable for relieving acute angina attacks; fast-acting nitrates should be used for acute symptoms. It is important to carefully monitor changes in symptoms during medication use and not to suddenly discontinue without a physician's guidance. Additionally, caution is needed as taking this medication with alcohol or other antihypertensive agents may cause excessive lowering of blood pressure. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with their doctor before using this medication and should avoid it if possible. Safety for use in children has not been established, so it is advisable not to administer it to pediatric patients. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as headache, fainting, and low blood pressure may occur; seek appropriate medical treatment immediately. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children and kept in its original packaging to prevent deterioration of quality. Dizziness may occur during use, so special care is required while driving or operating machinery.
