Precautions

This medication should not be used during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it may pose serious risks to the fetus. It should not be administered to patients with allergies to the active ingredient or related compounds, or those with specific heart, liver, or kidney diseases. Patients with liver or heart issues or certain valve diseases should use this medication with caution. Since this drug lowers blood pressure, it should not be used in patients with excessively low blood pressure or in shock conditions. During treatment, side effects such as dizziness or swelling may occur; if symptoms worsen, consult a physician. This medication can interact with other drugs, so caution is necessary, especially when taken with diuretics, lithium, warfarin, or certain antibiotics. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this medication and should consult a doctor if planning to become pregnant. The safety and effectiveness of this medication have not been sufficiently established for children, thus it is not recommended. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to this drug, requiring careful dosage adjustments. Overdose can lead to severe hypotension or heart problems, so it is crucial to adhere strictly to the dosage guidelines and report any unusual symptoms to healthcare professionals immediately. Store this medication away from direct sunlight and keep it out of reach of children. It is recommended to open the packaging just before taking the medication.
