Precautions

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters; therefore, it should be stopped immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Individuals allergic to the ingredients of this medication or sulfonamide class drugs should not take this medication. Patients with severely impaired kidney function or significantly decreased liver function, as well as those with certain genetic disorders, should also avoid using this medication. This medication should be used with caution in patients with low blood pressure or issues with fluid and electrolyte balance, and caution is also required in patients with liver or heart disease. Since this medication can lower blood pressure, care should be taken to avoid excessive lowering of blood pressure when used in conjunction with other antihypertensive medications. It is important to regularly check electrolyte levels and kidney function through blood tests while taking this medication. The hydrochlorothiazide component can lower potassium levels, so patients at risk for hypokalemia should be particularly cautious and may need potassium supplementation.

Rarely, severe allergic reactions, liver dysfunction, or blood abnormalities may occur, and symptoms should be reported to medical personnel immediately. This medication is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, especially during pregnancy as it can be dangerous for the fetus; consultation with a doctor before use is absolutely necessary. Elderly patients should take this medication more cautiously as blood pressure may drop too low, leading to potential problems for the heart or brain. Overdosing on this medication can lead to symptoms such as low blood pressure, dizziness, and electrolyte imbalances, so the dosage must be strictly adhered to. Care should be taken when driving or operating machinery during treatment, as dizziness or lethargy may occur. This medication can interact with other drugs, so it is essential to inform healthcare providers of any other medications being taken, particularly when used alongside potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, NSAIDs, etc. Finally, this medication should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in its original container to prevent misuse or quality deterioration.
