This medication can affect liver or kidney function, so if there are any related diseases or suspicions, a consultation with a physician is required. The hydrochlorothiazide component can cause electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, increased blood sugar, skin reactions, and in rare cases, severe skin conditions, so any abnormal symptoms must be reported to a doctor immediately. During treatment, be careful to avoid excessive sun exposure, and consult medical personnel if there are any skin abnormalities.
