This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters; it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication must not be used in patients with allergies to its ingredients, severe liver or kidney dysfunction, or women who are pregnant or nursing. Particular caution is needed for the elderly or patients with high serum potassium levels, liver dysfunction, and other specific health conditions when using this medication. During treatment, symptoms such as dizziness or a sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, so monitoring should be conducted closely, especially when first taking the medication. Patients with heart failure or those who have had a myocardial infarction should have their kidney function monitored periodically while taking this medication, and any combination with other antihypertensive agents should be followed as per a physician’s instructions. This medication can dangerously increase blood potassium levels when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements, so caution is advised. Taking this medication with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may decrease the antihypertensive effect and cause kidney function issues, so precautions are needed during concurrent use. This medication may cause dizziness during driving or operating machinery, so caution is required. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or decreased consciousness may occur, necessitating immediate contact with medical institutions for appropriate treatment. The safety and efficacy in children and adolescents have not been sufficiently established, so use in this age group is not recommended.
