This medication can affect the central nervous system, potentially causing symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and fatigue, and may lead to serious cardiovascular side effects. Regular heart function checks are important, as the heart rate may slow down excessively or blood pressure may drop too low. In patients with impaired renal function, kidney functionality may deteriorate, and respiratory problems may lead to difficulty breathing.

Allergic reactions such as hives, itching, and rashes may occur, and if liver dysfunction occurs, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Elderly patients, whose liver function may be impaired, should start with a lower dosage and be monitored carefully. In cases of overdose, serious symptoms such as low blood pressure, decreased heart rate, impaired cardiac function, shock, and difficulty breathing may occur, necessitating immediate contact with a medical institution for appropriate treatment. Regular heart function tests should be conducted if this medication is taken long-term, and sudden discontinuation may worsen symptoms, so the dosage should be gradually reduced according to a doctor's instructions.
