This medication affects water regulation in the body, so it is important to drink water only when feeling thirsty. Excessive fluid intake can lead to hyponatremia or water intoxication, which in severe cases can cause unconsciousness. This medication should not be used in patients with certain diseases or conditions. For example, patients who are allergic to the components of this medication, those with severely impaired kidney function, heart failure patients, and patients with certain genetic disorders should avoid this medication. Moreover, patients with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, pregnant women, and elderly patients should use this medication with more caution and should have regular blood tests as instructed by their physicians. Side effects from this medication may include headache, nausea, skin allergic reactions, and hyponatremia, and the risk of severe water intoxication leading to unconsciousness or seizures is higher in elderly or certain patients. Fluid intake should be strictly limited during treatment, and it is essential not to drink a lot of water for a certain period before and after administration. Failure to adhere to fluid intake restrictions can lead to dangerous symptoms from excessive water retention in the body. This medication may interact with other medications, so if you are taking other drugs such as antidepressants, diuretics, or steroids, you must inform your doctor or pharmacist.
