In addition, it is not administered to patients with orthostatic hypotension as symptoms may worsen. For patients with severely impaired liver function, this medication's blood concentration may increase, so it should not be used. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should also not take this medication. Patients with severe kidney diseases, the elderly, and patients on certain medications should use this drug with caution. Particularly, caution should be exercised for those taking antihypertensives, PDE5 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inhibitors, and alpha-1 blockers due to potential interactions. Patients with a history of urinary syncope should also be administered this medication carefully. During the use of this drug, fainting or loss of consciousness may occur, so careful observation is necessary.

This drug is used for symptom relief and not for the treatment of hypertension, and alternative treatment options should be considered if it proves ineffective. If dizziness or drowsiness occurs while taking this medication, it is advisable to avoid hazardous activities such as working at heights or driving. Rare side effects such as priapism may occur when taking alpha-1 blockers, and this condition requires prompt treatment.
