Precautions

This medication can cause serious harm or death to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Patients with allergies to this medication's active ingredients or similar class medications, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction should not take this drug. Patients who are depleted of sodium or fluids may experience hypotension, so their condition should be evaluated carefully before taking the medication, and blood pressure and condition monitored closely during treatment. Patients with high potassium levels or those taking potassium supplements need regular monitoring of potassium levels, and caution is needed for patients with vascular issues in the kidneys. Caution is also advised for patients with cardiac conditions, such as heart failure or after myocardial infarction, and patients with aortic stenosis. If symptoms of angioedema occur, the medication should be stopped immediately and not resumed. Caution is required when driving or operating machinery due to potential dizziness or fatigue. This medication may increase the risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia, or renal impairment when used in combination with other antihypertensives, so blood pressure and renal function should be closely monitored when used together. Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should not take this medication, and its use is not recommended in nursing mothers. Safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established in pediatric patients, so its use is discouraged.
