This medication helps regulate the body's water balance. When using this medication, care should be taken to avoid hyponatremia due to insufficient sodium in the body and water intoxication resulting from excessive water accumulation, and it is advised to drink water only to the point of thirst.

Patients with hypertension, severe atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, women of childbearing potential, children, and the elderly should use this medication cautiously, and especially elderly patients are at higher risk for hyponatremia and should have their sodium levels monitored frequently through blood tests. This medication requires restriction of water intake, and adjustments should be made to the amount of water consumed from 1 hour before to 8 hours after administration. In cases of kidney function tests, the water intake restriction period may be longer. Possible side effects include allergic reactions, headaches, dizziness, nausea, weight gain, and skin rashes, and any unusual symptoms should be reported to healthcare professionals immediately.
