This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; thus, it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Patients with allergies to this drug's main ingredients or similar substances, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with severe liver dysfunction, severe aortic stenosis, bile duct obstruction, patients undergoing renal dialysis, patients in shock, certain diabetic patients, and those with moderate to severe renal dysfunction should not use this medication. Patients with fluid or salt deficiency should be closely monitored during the initial phase of treatment, as blood pressure may drop sharply; if hypotension occurs, maintaining proper posture and, if necessary, fluid therapy may be required. Due to its vasodilatory effects, acute hypotension may rarely occur, so special caution is necessary for patients with severe aortic stenosis, obstructive coronary artery disease, or congestive heart failure. In patients with impaired kidney function, this medication may affect kidney function and kidney function should be regularly monitored, and severely impaired liver function should also be used with caution. During treatment, various side effects such as dizziness, headache, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, edema, dyspepsia, skin rash, etc., may occur; if any abnormal symptoms arise, patients should consult medical professionals immediately. Sudden discontinuation of beta-blockers can increase risks, so while this medication is not a beta-blocker, it is essential to taper the dosage gradually when discontinuing a beta-blocker. This medication may lead to elevated blood potassium levels when taken with other antihypertensives, potassium-sparing diuretics, or potassium supplements, hence regular blood tests are necessary. This medication should not be used during pregnancy; if pregnancy is planned or confirmed, medical professionals should be informed immediately. Breastfeeding women should consider discontinuing breastfeeding or this medication as it can be transmitted through breast milk. Safety and efficacy have not been established for children under 18 years, so the use of this medication is not recommended for them. Elderly patients may have diminished kidney and liver function; thus, starting with a lower dose and adjusting the dosage carefully is advised. In case of overdose, symptoms such as severe hypotension, vasodilation, tachycardia, etc. may occur, necessitating immediate emergency treatment with close monitoring of blood pressure and heart function. Store in a closed container to prevent air and moisture from entering, and keep at room temperature between 1 to 30 degrees Celsius. This will help maintain the medication's effectiveness and prevent degradation.
