This medication can cause electrolyte imbalances and dehydration, so it should be started at a low dose and gradually increased, and electrolyte levels should be regularly monitored through blood tests during treatment. If hypokalemia occurs, appropriate treatment is required, and if plasma magnesium levels are low, it may be difficult to treat hypokalemia. This drug can interact with other medications, so patients taking blood pressure medications, digoxin, corticosteroids, or lithium should consult a doctor. Administration should be avoided in late pregnancy, and during breastfeeding, it should be used only if necessary, and breastfeeding should be discontinued if unavoidable. Safety for children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it should be used cautiously in this population, and elderly patients should start at a low dose while being closely monitored.
