This medication is used to treat hypertension, and during treatment, regular monitoring of blood pressure, renal function, and electrolyte levels is recommended to detect adverse reactions early. Additionally, caution is needed when taking this medication with potassium-sparing diuretics or potassium supplements, as it may increase potassium levels in the blood.
