Administration should be cautious for patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function, those with a history of orthostatic hypotension or cardiovascular diseases, and patients with allergies to specific dyes. Care should be taken when starting or changing dosages since dizziness or fainting may occur, and it is advisable to avoid dangerous activities such as working at heights or driving. During treatment, blood pressure may drop suddenly or heart rate may increase; if symptoms appear, lie down immediately and seek medical help if necessary. Neurological symptoms such as depression, insomnia, and headache may occur, while gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea may arise. Additionally, caution is needed as blood pressure may drop further when taken with antihypertensive agents, but interactions with specific drugs are relatively few. Pregnant or lactating women should be carefully administered this drug under medical supervision as its safety has not been established, and it is advisable to avoid use during nursing. Elderly patients should start at a low dose and be monitored to prevent excessive lowering of blood pressure.
