This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; therefore, it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Individuals who are allergic to any components of this medication or similar drugs, pregnant or possibly pregnant women, and nursing mothers should not take this medication. Patients with severely impaired kidney function, liver function issues, a history of certain heart diseases, or vascular edema should not use this medication for safety reasons. Patients who have low sodium or fluid levels in their body may experience hypotension; therefore, it is essential to monitor the condition before use and take this medication under the observation of a physician. Frequent monitoring of potassium levels is necessary for patients with high potassium levels or those taking potassium supplements. The safety of this medication has not been sufficiently established in kidney transplant patients, thus cautious use is required. If symptoms of angioedema occur during treatment, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and it should not be readministered. Patients after heart failure or myocardial infarction should closely monitor kidney function and blood pressure while taking this medication. Patients with acute myocardial infarction or certain cardiac valve diseases require caution when using this medication.

In the case of overdose, hypotension or arrhythmias may occur, so it is essential to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage, and if unusual symptoms arise, consult medical personnel immediately.
