This medication can affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, so patients with risk factors such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking should make careful decisions regarding its use. The longer the dosage and duration, the higher the risk to the cardiovascular system, so it should be used at the minimum effective dose for the shortest duration possible.

During treatment, regular checks of blood pressure, liver function, and kidney function are needed, and a physician should be consulted immediately if abnormal symptoms occur. Due to numerous drug interactions, especially with anticoagulants, diuretics, antidiabetic agents, lithium, and methotrexate, patients taking these medications must consult with a doctor. Pregnant women, especially in the late stages of pregnancy, should avoid this medication as it may pose risks to the fetus; women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should refrain from using it.
