This medication helps regulate the body's fluid balance. When taking this medication, fluid intake must be controlled. Excessive fluid intake can lower serum sodium levels, leading to hyponatremia or water intoxication, so it is important to drink water only when thirsty. Particularly, elderly patients or those with certain conditions are at higher risk for serious side effects such as hyponatremia, so caution is required. Patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or have heart failure, severe renal failure, hyponatremia, Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus should not take this medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, patients with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or those at risk for electrolyte imbalance should also use this medication with caution. While taking this medication, side effects such as headache, dizziness, dry mouth, and hyponatremia may occur, so if symptoms are severe, consult medical personnel immediately. Fluid intake should be restricted from 1 hour before until 8 hours after taking the medication, and serum sodium levels should be regularly monitored; if abnormalities occur, the use of the medication should be discontinued. Additionally, the risk of hyponatremia may increase when used in combination with certain medications, so if other medications are being taken, this must be disclosed to healthcare professionals. Pregnant or nursing women should also be cautious when using this medication, and its use in children is not recommended. In case of overdose, the risk of fluid retention and hyponatremia increases, so immediate medical assistance should be sought, and it is safe to store the medication out of reach of children and in its original container.
