Especially in patients with heart failure or after myocardial infarction, renal function changes should be monitored carefully, and dosage should be adjusted if blood pressure drops too low.

In case of overdose, symptoms such as low blood pressure, decreased consciousness, and shock may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
