Early pregnancy may also affect the fetus, so women who may become pregnant should consult their doctor before taking it.

Caution should be exercised in patients with significantly low blood pressure or impaired kidney function, and in those with hyperkalemia.

During treatment, it is advisable to avoid hazardous activities such as operating heavy machinery or driving. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function may require dosage adjustments under the supervision of a physician, and potassium levels should be monitored regularly.

Pregnant or nursing women should not take this medication, particularly due to the possibility of the drug passing into breast milk while nursing.
