This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Taking this medication by a pregnant woman can lead to serious side effects in the newborn such as hypotension, renal function impairment, and craniofacial deformities. Hypotension may occur when initially administered to patients with reduced intravascular blood volume, so caution is required, and the patient's condition should be stabilized before administration. It is contraindicated in patients allergic to any components of this drug, in pregnant or nursing women, patients with severe liver dysfunction, severe aortic stenosis, and patients in shock. It should be used cautiously in patients with reduced blood volume, strict sodium restriction, moderate to severe renal impairment, and hyperkalemia. Dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, and other symptoms may occur while taking this drug, so it is advised to avoid dangerous tasks such as working at heights or operating vehicles. The blood pressure-lowering effect may be enhanced when taken with other antihypertensive agents, so it should be taken carefully as directed by a physician. Taking grapefruit juice with this drug may increase the drug concentration, so co-administration is not recommended. It is prohibited for pregnant women, and nursing mothers should also avoid this medication. The safety and efficacy in children and adolescents under 18 years have not been established, so its use is not recommended.
