Particularly, if a patient taking this medication is to undergo cataract surgery, there may be issues with pupil dilation during the surgery, and this should be communicated to healthcare professionals before the procedure. This medication should be swallowed whole, as breaking or chewing it may lead to imbalanced effects and increase the risk of side effects. Caution should be exercised when taking this medication along with other alpha-blockers, certain antihypertensives, nitrate medications, and some antifungals, as the risk of hypotension may increase. The safety of this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established, so it is advisable not to use it in these cases.
