Use of this medication is contraindicated or requires caution for patients with certain conditions. For example, patients with liver disorders, severe hypotension, cardiac diseases, obstructive biliary diseases, and those with severely impaired kidney function or diabetes should not use this medication. As this medication lowers blood pressure, it may cause hypotension, and if symptoms of hypotension occur, appropriate measures should be taken immediately. Furthermore, there is a risk of hyperkalemia, which is an increase in potassium levels in the blood, so potassium levels should be regularly checked, and caution should be taken when combining with medications or supplements high in potassium. For patients with reduced kidney function, there is a risk of worsening renal function, and serum creatinine and potassium levels should be monitored periodically. Side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, visual disturbances, palpitations, and edema can commonly occur, and care should be taken when driving or operating machinery. Since this medication has a strong blood pressure-lowering effect, patients with cardiovascular diseases should be cautious as excessive blood pressure reduction may increase the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke.
