This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; therefore, if pregnancy is confirmed, treatment should be stopped immediately. Patients with allergies to the active ingredients or similar substances, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function, specific heart valve disease patients, those with bile duct obstruction, patients undergoing kidney dialysis, patients in shock, and specific diabetic patients should not take this medication. In patients who are deficient in fluids or sodium, hypotension may occur, so their condition should be closely monitored during the initial phase of treatment, and appropriate treatment should be provided if hypotension develops. Patients with severe aortic stenosis or obstructive coronary artery disease should be especially cautious, as rapid vasodilation can lead to hypotension. Heart failure patients may experience exacerbation when taking this drug, so dosage and condition should be closely monitored. Patients with impaired kidney function may experience further deterioration of their kidney function, so caution is necessary when taking this medicine, and similar caution is required for patients with reduced liver function. Side effects such as dizziness, headache, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, edema, dyspepsia, and rash may occur during treatment; patients should consult their doctor if any unusual symptoms appear. During pregnancy, there is a serious risk to the fetus, so this drug should not be used, and if planning for pregnancy, it is recommended to switch to safer alternatives. Breastfeeding mothers should discontinue breastfeeding or stop taking the medicine due to the possibility of the drug being transmitted via breast milk. Children under 18 years of age are advised not to take this medication as safety and efficacy have not been established.
