Precautions

This medication helps regulate fluid balance in the body. However, in elderly patients or those with certain conditions, there is a risk of excessive fluid retention leading to hyponatremia or water intoxication, so water intake should be restricted to thirst only. This medication should not be used by patients with allergies to its components or those with certain kidney diseases, heart failure, or habitual enuresis. Caution should be exercised in patients with high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, pregnant women, children, the elderly, or those with electrolyte imbalances. Severe side effects such as headache, nausea, weight gain, and coma may occur, so if symptoms arise, medical consultation should be sought immediately. Fluid intake should be restricted from 1 hour before administration until 8 hours after administration, and caution is required as the restriction time may vary depending on kidney function. Especially in the elderly, the risk of hyponatremia is high, so sodium levels should be frequently monitored through blood tests before and during treatment. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, if taking other medications, it is important to inform the doctor or pharmacist. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should carefully consider the effects on the fetus or newborn when using this medication, and it is recommended to stop breastfeeding if using this medication.
