Additionally, it is contraindicated for breastfeeding women, patients with severe liver dysfunction, patients with severe narrowing of the heart valves, and patients in shock. This medication lowers blood pressure, so it should be used with caution in patients with very low blood pressure, severely impaired kidney function requiring dialysis, elderly patients, and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Common side effects when taking this medication may include flushing, fatigue, edema, palpitations, dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, abdominal pain, and nausea. Rarely, hypotension, neurological abnormalities, dyspepsia, skin rashes, and liver dysfunction may occur; if any abnormal symptoms appear, consult a doctor. Patients with heart failure or impaired liver function may experience more severe effects and side effects from this medication and should take caution. This medication lowers blood pressure gradually, so it is not suitable for situations that require rapid blood pressure reduction. This medication may interact with other drugs, so it is crucial to inform healthcare providers when taking it with grapefruit juice or certain antibiotics, antihypertensive drugs, immunosuppressants, etc. The safety of this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding is uncertain; therefore, it is recommended to avoid use except in special circumstances. It is advised to discontinue breastfeeding when taking this medication. Usage is recommended only for children aged 6 years and older, as its effectiveness and safety have not been established for younger ages. Elderly patients may be given the standard dosage, but caution should be taken to consider the potential for side effects based on their physical condition. In cases of overdose, blood pressure may drop too low, and heart rate may increase, potentially leading to shock, requiring immediate emergency treatment. This medication is not removed by dialysis, so alternative treatment methods should be used in case of overdose.
