This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters, and must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Pregnant women taking this drug may experience serious problems such as decreased fetal kidney function, hypotension, and cranial formation anomalies. Patients with reduced effective blood volume, for example, those on diuretics, may experience hypotension upon initial administration of this drug, so caution is required. This drug should not be administered to patients who are allergic to the active ingredients or similar components, pregnant or potentially pregnant women, patients with severe liver dysfunction, significant aortic stenosis, or those in a state of shock. Patients with reduced effective blood volume or those on stringent salt restrictions, moderate to severe renal dysfunction, or hyperkalemia should be administered this drug cautiously. This medication can cause various side effects such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, edema, dyspepsia, and skin rash, and if any unusual symptoms occur, medical consultation should be sought immediately. Due to its blood pressure-lowering effects, dizziness or orthostatic hypotension may occur, so caution should be taken with high-risk activities such as working at heights or driving. Patients with impaired liver or kidney function may require dose adjustments, and due to the risk of hyperkalemia, potassium levels should be monitored regularly when used in combination with potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics. This medication may have an enhanced effect when used together with other antihypertensive agents, so it should be taken cautiously under medical supervision. It is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women not to take this drug, and its safety for children has not been established, so it is not recommended. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or cardiac issues may occur, so prescribed doses should be adhered to, and immediate medical attention should be sought in case of unusual symptoms.
