Patients who are allergic to this drug or its components, have a history of angioedema, show symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, have severe liver dysfunction, or are pregnant or possibly pregnant should not take this medication. Furthermore, patients with severely impaired kidney function, the elderly, and those taking PDE5 inhibitors, CYP3A4 inhibitors, or antihypertensive agents should use this medication with caution. In particular, patients taking alpha-1 blockers and those with a history of urinary fainting should not generally take this drug, except in necessary situations under careful supervision. Side effects such as dizziness, blood pressure drops, heartbeat irregularities, headaches, drowsiness, skin rashes, indigestion, and liver dysfunction may occur. In severe cases, loss of consciousness or fainting can occur, so immediate consultation with a healthcare provider is needed if symptoms appear. Overdosing on this medication may cause dangerously low blood pressure, so it is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosage and be cautious of blood pressure changes upon standing.

Dizziness or drowsiness may occur; caution should be taken during driving or hazardous tasks, and a prostate cancer evaluation must be conducted before taking this medication. This medication can rarely cause priapism, so if this symptom occurs, prompt treatment is necessary.

Patients who have had allergic reactions to sulfonamide medications should be careful as they may experience allergic reactions while taking this medication. When taken with other antihypertensive drugs or PDE5 inhibitors, this medication can enhance the antihypertensive effect, leading to dizziness or hypotension, so it's important to consult with healthcare professionals. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the concentration of this medication in the bloodstream, so it is better to avoid concurrent use, and caution is also needed when used with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.
