This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn during pregnancy, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Patients who are allergic to this drug's components or similar drugs, those with a history of angioedema, severely impaired liver or kidney function, or certain heart diseases should not take this medication. Elderly patients, patients with impaired liver function, significantly low blood pressure, and high serum potassium levels should use this drug with more caution, and regular blood tests and condition monitoring are necessary. This drug may cause muscle-related side effects, such as myalgia, muscle weakness, and rhabdomyolysis, so if muscle pain or weakness occurs during treatment, consult a doctor immediately. The Telmisartan component may affect kidney function, so patients with impaired kidney function need regular blood tests and monitoring. The Amlodipine component has blood pressure-lowering effects; thus, caution is needed in patients with excessively low blood pressure or poor cardiac function. The Rosuvastatin component can affect liver function, so regular liver enzyme tests should be done before and during treatment, and treatment should be discontinued if liver function abnormalities are found. This drug may interact with other medications; therefore, if other medications are being taken, patients must inform their doctor or pharmacist, especially when taking blood pressure medications, diuretics, anticoagulants, or immunosuppressants. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking this drug; if it is necessary to take it, breastfeeding should be discontinued. Overdose may lead to hypotension, dizziness, and muscle abnormalities, so it is important to follow the dosage exactly and visit a healthcare facility immediately if abnormal symptoms occur. The safety and effectiveness of this drug in children have not been established, so it is recommended not to administer it to them. During treatment, drowsiness or dizziness may occur, so caution is advised when driving or operating dangerous machinery.
