This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. Therefore, it must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to the active ingredients or similar medications, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and those who are breastfeeding. It is also not safe for individuals with very poor kidney function, serious liver problems, or a history of certain heart conditions or vascular edema. During the use of this medication, special caution is needed if there is dehydration or sodium deficiency, hyperkalemia, or existing kidney issues, as blood pressure could drop too low, requiring close monitoring by a physician. Patients with heart failure, post-myocardial infarction patients, and those with specific heart conditions such as aortic stenosis should also use this medication with caution. Dizziness or fatigue may occur during the treatment, so caution is required while driving or operating machinery. Furthermore, this medication may interact with other drugs, so it is essential to inform the doctor or pharmacist of any other medications being taken. Overdose of this medication can lead to severe hypotension or cardiac issues, so if an overdose is suspected, immediate medical attention is necessary. The safety and efficacy of this medication in children have not been sufficiently established, so it is advisable not to use it in this group. For the elderly, it can be administered at doses similar to those of adult patients, but it should follow the physician’s guidelines based on their condition. Finally, as this medication can affect kidney and liver function, regular check-ups are important to monitor the condition.
