This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus, particularly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so if pregnancy is confirmed, it should be discontinued immediately. Individuals with allergies to this drug's main ingredients or related components, pregnant or nursing women, and those with severe kidney or liver disease should not take this medication.

Patients with high potassium levels should be cautious when taking this medication alongside potassium-increasing medications, and regular potassium level checks are necessary.

If symptoms of angioedema (airway obstruction or swelling of the face, lips, tongue) occur, discontinue use immediately and do not resume.
