This drug may cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy; therefore, it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Patients with allergies to the active ingredient or related components, pregnant or nursing women, and those with severe kidney or liver disease should not use this medication. Patients with low sodium or fluid levels in the body may experience hypotension; therefore, their condition should be thoroughly checked before use, and blood pressure should be closely monitored during treatment. Patients with high potassium levels may experience increased potassium concentration when taking this drug with potassium-rich medications or supplements, so regular blood tests are necessary. Patients with renal vascular issues or those who have undergone kidney transplants should use this drug cautiously due to the risk of worsening kidney function. If symptoms of angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, etc.) occur while taking this drug, it should be discontinued immediately and medical attention sought. Patients with heart failure or post-myocardial infarction should closely monitor their kidney function and blood pressure while taking this drug, as pulmonary edema may occur in some cases, requiring caution. This drug may interact with other antihypertensive or specific medications, so if other medications are being taken, it is essential to inform a doctor or pharmacist. Caution is needed as dizziness or fatigue may occur while driving or operating machinery. In the case of overdose, severe hypotension or cardiac arrhythmias may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought if symptoms arise.
