This medication can lower blood pressure, which may lead to cardiovascular adverse reactions such as dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, palpitations, and arrhythmias. Neurological and psychiatric symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, insomnia, and decreased libido have also been reported. If skin rash, itching, or hives occur, discontinue use immediately. In the gastrointestinal system, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, constipation, and diarrhea may occur, and rare cases of liver dysfunction or jaundice may need attention.

In the elderly, dosing should start at a lower dose considering the potential for renal impairment, with monitoring of the patient's condition. When taking this medication, take it directly from the packaging, and be careful not to chew or open the capsule. Especially as it is in sustained-release form, the effect of the medication can vary.
