This medication may not be suitable for certain patients. For instance, individuals with allergies to this medication or its components, those with severely compromised heart function, asthma, or serious pulmonary diseases may experience worsening symptoms by taking this medication. Particularly cautious use is required for diabetic patients, the elderly, and individuals with compromised kidney or liver function. This medication can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate, so those with significantly low blood pressure or slow heart rate should consult a physician before use. During the course of treatment, symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or headache may occur, and in severe cases, serious side effects like heart function decline or respiratory distress may arise; patients should notify healthcare professionals immediately if they experience any symptoms. Suddenly stopping this medication may worsen heart disease symptoms, so the dosage should be gradually reduced under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, this medication may interact with other drugs, so it is vital to inform healthcare providers of any currently taken medications, and caution is advised when consuming alcohol, as it may potentiate blood pressure-lowering effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised against taking this medication, and its safety has not been established for use in children and adolescents.
