This medication may cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Do not take this medication if you have allergies to any of its ingredients, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have severe liver disease or aortic stenosis. Caution is required for patients with low body water or sodium, as initial dosage may result in excessively low blood pressure, necessitating appropriate management if blood pressure drops too low. Due to the vasodilatory effect, this medication should be used cautiously in patients with aortic stenosis, severe obstructive coronary artery disease, or heart failure. Patients with compromised kidney function may need regular kidney function tests, as this medication could affect renal function. Patients with severe liver impairment should also use this medication with caution, as it may remain in the liver for an extended period.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is recommended to switch to another antihypertensive medication with proven safety instead of using this one. Breastfeeding women should discontinue breastfeeding or stop taking this medication, as it may be passed to breast milk and affect the baby.
