This medication should not be taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy as it can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn. If pregnancy is confirmed, this medication should be discontinued immediately. Patients who are allergic or hypersensitive to this medication or any of its components, pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with severe hypotension, and patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment should not receive this medication. Patients with decreased blood volume, impaired renal function, liver disease, and heart valve disease should use this medication with caution and monitor closely for symptoms such as hypotension or worsening renal function. Since this medication lowers blood pressure, it may cause dizziness or orthostatic hypotension, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. During treatment with this medication, regular tests should be conducted to monitor electrolyte levels and renal function, particularly considering the risk of elevated or decreased potassium levels. This medication can interact with other drugs, so especially when used in combination with lithium, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and other antihypertensives, consultation with a physician or pharmacist is necessary. The hydrochlorothiazide component can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, so caution should be taken regarding UV protection during treatment, and if symptoms of photosensitivity occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately and advice should be sought from a specialist. This medication is not recommended for pediatric patients under 18 years of age as its safety and efficacy have not been established. In the elderly, the body's response to the medication may vary due to decreased renal and hepatic function, so treatment should start at lower doses and dose adjustments should be made cautiously. In cases of overdose, severe hypotension and heart dysfunction may occur, necessitating immediate medical attention for appropriate treatment. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and kept protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
