This medication should not be used by certain patients. For instance, those who have had an allergy to this drug or its components, individuals with orthostatic hypotension, those with severely impaired liver function, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid taking it. Additionally, individuals with severely impaired kidney function, elderly patients, those taking PDE5 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inhibitors, or antihypertensive medications should use this medicine with caution. In particular, those currently on alpha1 blockers or with a history of micturition syncope should generally avoid this medication, using it only with extreme caution if absolutely necessary. This medication may cause various side effects such as syncope or dizziness due to blood pressure reduction, headaches, drowsiness, skin rash, digestive disturbances, and liver function abnormalities. If such symptoms occur, you should stop taking the medication immediately and consult your healthcare provider. As the risk of blood pressure decrease exists when taking this medication, care should be taken when changing positions suddenly or working at heights. Furthermore, this medication serves only as a symptomatic relief treatment and does not address the underlying cause, so alternative treatments should be considered if it proves ineffective. This medication may interact with other drugs, so particularly when taken together with antihypertensive drugs, PDE5 inhibitors, or CYP3A4 inhibitors, it is essential to follow your physician's instructions closely. It is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 18 years old to avoid using this medication. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney function, so treatment should start at a low dose while monitoring their condition, and if ineffective, they should not increase the dosage further but consider alternative treatments. Dosage administration is also important; this medication should not be chewed or opened, and in the case of orally disintegrating tablets, they should be placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve before taking. Furthermore, it is safest not to take this medication without water while lying down. Lastly, this medication should be stored out of reach of children and care should be taken since transferring it to another container may affect its quality.
