Adult dose

The recommended dosage for adults is 1 tablet once daily, taken with water regardless of meals. It is advisable to take the medication at the same time each day (e.g., in the morning).

For patients with renal impairment, no dosage adjustment is necessary for mild to moderate impairments (creatinine clearance above 10 mL/min).

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn when taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Persons allergic to this medication's components or similar drug classes, pregnant or nursing women, and patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction should not use this medication. Patients deficient in sodium or fluids should correct their condition before taking this medication, and should carefully monitor blood pressure changes during use. Patients with high potassium levels or those taking other medications that may elevate potassium levels should frequently check their potassium levels and take precautions. Patients with renal vascular problems or those who have recently undergone kidney transplants should use this medication cautiously due to the risk of worsening kidney function. If severe swelling of the face or neck occurs (angioedema), the medication should be discontinued immediately and not be taken again. Patients with heart failure or those recovering from myocardial infarction should carefully monitor any changes in kidney function while taking this medication, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Though this medication is used for high blood pressure treatment, its efficacy may be limited in patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery due to potential dizziness or fatigue. Overdose of this medication may result in severe hypotension or arrhythmias, and immediate medical attention is required in such cases. Additionally, there may be interactions with other medications, so patients taking especially antihypertensives, potassium supplements, diuretics, or anti-inflammatory medications should consult with their physician or pharmacist. This medication is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, as its safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established.
