Precautions

This medication can pose serious risks to the fetus during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters; therefore, it should not be taken by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

Special caution is required when using this medication in patients with conditions such as primary aldosteronism or heart valve disease, liver impairment, gastrointestinal diseases, renal artery hypertension, patients on dialysis for renal failure, and the elderly. Common side effects may include dizziness and peripheral edema, and in rare cases, severe side effects such as syncope or myocardial infarction may occur; thus, if any unusual symptoms arise, immediate consultation with healthcare providers is necessary.

Lactating women are advised not to use this medication, and they should consult a physician if necessary.
