This medication acts to regulate the amount of water in the body, so it is important to avoid excessive water intake.

Patients with hypertension, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, women of childbearing potential, children, and elderly patients should exercise greater caution when using this medication, especially in cases where there are diseases that can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalances. While taking this medication, side effects such as headaches, nausea, weight gain, and seizures may occur, particularly more frequently in elderly individuals. Fluid intake should be restricted from 1 hour before taking the medication until 8 hours after, and in cases of impaired kidney function, it should be limited to less than 0.5 liters for 12 hours after taking the medication. Additionally, this medication may interact with other drugs, so if other medications are being taken, it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
