Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients who have had specific allergic reactions. Patients with orthostatic hypotension resulting from sudden blood pressure drops or severe liver dysfunction may also be at risk when taking this medication. It is safest for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant to avoid this medication. Patients with severely impaired kidney function or the elderly should exercise special caution when using this medication. There may be interactions when taken with other blood pressure medications, PDE5 inhibitors, or certain liver metabolism inhibitors, so consultation with a physician is necessary. This medication can cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and decreased blood pressure, necessitating caution when driving or performing hazardous tasks. If allergic symptoms such as skin rash or itching occur, discontinue use immediately and inform medical personnel. Overdose of this medication may lead to excessive lowering of blood pressure, so the prescribed dosage must be strictly followed. As the medication comes in capsule or sustained-release form, it should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed, taken with water for proper efficacy. This medication is not used in children or adolescents under 18, as its safety and efficacy have not been established. Its safety has not been established for pregnant women, so it is advisable not to take it. Before using this medication, ensure that there is no prostate cancer, and consider alternative treatments if there is no effect. This medication can rarely cause a prolonged erection, so consult a doctor immediately if this occurs.
