This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Those allergic to any components of this medication, pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with severe liver impairment or certain heart conditions, and patients undergoing renal dialysis should not take it. Patients with fluid or salt deficiency may experience hypotension, so their condition must be carefully monitored during initial doses, and appropriate measures should be taken if hypotension occurs. Patients with certain heart conditions should be cautious as they may experience sudden vasodilation leading to hypotension. Heart failure patients must use this medication cautiously, and renal function must be closely monitored in patients with impaired kidney function. Patients with reduced liver function may experience slower metabolism of this medication, thus should exercise caution when taking it. Side effects such as dizziness, headache, hypotension, edema, indigestion, and skin rash can occur while taking this medication, and if symptoms are severe, consulting a healthcare professional is necessary. This medication can interact with other antihypertensive drugs or certain medications, so any drugs being taken must be disclosed. Particularly, co-administration with grapefruit juice can cause excessive blood pressure-lowering effects and should be avoided. It poses risks to the fetus during pregnancy, so if pregnancy is planned or confirmed, discontinuation and a consultation with a physician are advised. For breastfeeding mothers, since this drug can be transmitted through breast milk potentially causing side effects in infants, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding or discontinue the medication. It is advisable not to administer this drug to children under 18 years as safety and efficacy have not been established. Elderly patients should start at a lower dose and be monitored closely due to potential decline in liver and kidney function. In cases of overdose, severe hypotension and vascular dilation may lead to tachycardia or decreased cardiac function, and immediate medical treatment is required. This medication should be stored away from direct sunlight and moisture, out of reach of children.
