This medication is contraindicated in patients allergic to the active ingredients or related drugs, pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with severe liver dysfunction, severe aortic stenosis, biliary obstruction, patients on dialysis, patients in shock, and certain diabetic patients. Patients with fluid or salt depletion may experience hypotension, so their condition should be closely monitored upon initial administration, and appropriate measures should be taken if hypotension occurs. Acute hypotension may rarely occur due to vasodilatory effects, necessitating caution in patients with aortic stenosis.

Patients with compromised kidney function may see worsening kidney function after taking this medication, so kidney function should be regularly monitored. Patients with liver dysfunction should also be monitored closely when taking this medication, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. During treatment, side effects such as dizziness, headache, hypotension, edema, gastrointestinal disturbances may arise, so patients should consult a physician if any abnormal symptoms occur. Older adults may have decreased kidney and liver function, so starting at a lower dosage and closely monitoring their condition is advised. This medication may interact with other drugs, so inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medications you are taking.
