This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus, especially during the second and third trimesters, so it should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. This drug should not be administered to patients with certain conditions, such as liver impairment, heart issues, hypotension, or poor kidney function.

This drug should not be started or continued during pregnancy, and if pregnancy is confirmed, it should be discontinued as soon as possible and switched to another treatment. Since hypotension may occur, patients with fluid or salt depletion should correct their condition before administration, and blood pressure and symptoms should be carefully monitored afterwards. This drug may elevate potassium levels in the blood, so patients at risk of hyperkalemia should have regular blood tests, and caution is needed when taking potassium supplements or medications containing potassium. Patients with impaired kidney function should be regularly monitored for kidney function and serum electrolyte levels during administration. In patients with heart disease, this drug may increase the risk of angina or myocardial infarction, so attention should be paid to symptom changes. This drug may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so caution is needed when driving or operating hazardous machinery. Interactions may occur when used in combination with other medications, so it is important to inform healthcare providers of any other medications being taken. Breastfeeding women should refrain from using this drug, and its safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established in children or adolescents, so it is not recommended for use in these populations.
