Discontinuing this medication abruptly may worsen heart-related symptoms, so the dosage should be gradually reduced under a doctor's guidance, and cessation of use should not be done arbitrarily. If taken in conjunction with other medications, interactions may occur, so it is essential to inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medications you are taking. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication, and its safety has not been established for use in children and adolescents, so it is not recommended for them.

In case of overdose, severe hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory distress, and consciousness disturbances may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought.
