This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it must be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Patients with allergy to the active ingredients or similar medications, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment should not use this medication. Patients with insufficient sodium or fluid in the body should stabilize their condition before taking this medication, and if symptoms of hypotension occur while using it, they should lie down immediately and seek treatment if necessary. Patients with high potassium levels should be careful when taking this medication alongside other drugs that can increase potassium levels, and regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor potassium levels. Patients with problems in renal blood vessels or those who have received a kidney transplant should use this medication cautiously due to the risk of worsening renal function. If symptoms of angioedema, such as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue occur during treatment, the medication should be discontinued immediately and medical advice sought. Patients with heart failure or after myocardial infarction should regularly monitor renal function changes while using this medication, and some cardiac patients should take caution when using it. The elderly can take the general dosage, but caution is advised as dizziness or fatigue may occur when driving or operating machinery. Taking this medication in combination with other antihypertensives may increase the risk of low blood pressure, hyperkalemia, and worsening renal function, so regular blood pressure and blood tests should be conducted during treatment. In case of overdose, severe hypotension or cardiac arrhythmias may occur, so it's important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and inform medical personnel immediately if any unusual symptoms arise. This medication is not recommended for children due to insufficient data on its safety and efficacy, and women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should avoid it.
