Child dose

Safety and efficacy have not been established for pediatric patients under 18 years; therefore, the use of this medication is not recommended.

This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus or newborn if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Taking this medication during pregnancy may reduce the fetal kidney function, leading to decreased amniotic fluid volume, which can result in limb contractures, craniofacial deformities, and lung development issues in the fetus. Patients with a reduced effective blood volume, such as those on diuretics, may experience hypotension symptoms when first taking this medication, thus caution is needed. It should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to this drug, pregnant women, those with severe liver dysfunction, severe aortic stenosis, or in shock. This drug should be used with caution in patients with decreased effective blood volume, those on strict salt restrictions, moderate to severe renal impairment, or hyperkalemia. Possible side effects include dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, chest discomfort, edema, dyspepsia, pruritus, palpitations, orthostatic hypotension, and respiratory difficulties. During treatment, avoid hazardous activities such as working at heights or operating vehicles due to dizziness from blood pressure lowering. Patients with severely impaired liver function or poor kidney function should consult a physician before taking this medication, and caution is advised when taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics as potassium levels can increase. This drug may pose risks to the fetus during pregnancy and could be transmitted through breast milk during lactation, so its use is not recommended. Use in individuals under 18 years or over 75 years of age is not recommended. In cases of overdose, severe hypotension, tachycardia, and shock may occur, so immediate medical attention is required. This medication must be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers.
