Side effects such as dizziness and peripheral edema are common, and in rare cases, fainting or severe allergic reactions can occur, so it is important to consult a healthcare professional if any abnormal symptoms arise. In particular, caution is required for patients who are dehydrated, as hypotensive symptoms may occur if blood pressure drops too low, necessitating appropriate treatment if symptoms are present.

This medication may interact with other antihypertensives, so if you are taking other medications, you must inform your doctor or pharmacist.
