This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Individuals with allergies to the active ingredients or similar class of medications, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with severe kidney or liver dysfunction should not take this medication. Patients with low sodium or fluid levels in the body may experience hypotension, so their condition should be managed prior to administration and blood pressure must be carefully monitored during treatment. Patients with high potassium levels may experience increased potassium levels when taking this medication with potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, so frequent blood tests are necessary. Patients with renal vascular issues or those who have recently undergone kidney transplantation should consult with a physician before taking this medication, and kidney function should be carefully monitored during treatment. This medication can cause angioedema, such as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, so if these symptoms occur, use should be discontinued and healthcare professionals should be notified immediately. Patients with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction should frequently check kidney function and blood pressure while taking this medication, as swelling may worsen in some patients with heart failure, requiring caution. This medication may interact with other blood pressure-lowering drugs, so if other medications are being taken concurrently, it is essential to inform a doctor or pharmacist. Caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery as dizziness or fatigue may occur. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or arrhythmias may occur, so the prescribed dosage must be followed, and if an overdose is suspected, immediate medical attention should be sought. This medication is not recommended for children under 18 years of age as safety and efficacy in this group have not been sufficiently established.
