This medication works by retaining water in the body, reducing urine output. When taking this medication, it is important to avoid drinking excessive amounts of water. Overhydration can lower sodium levels in the body, leading to hyponatremia and water intoxication, which in severe cases can result in coma. This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, those who are allergic to this medication or its components, patients with heart failure, kidney failure, or hyponatremia, and individuals with genetic disorders affecting lactose metabolism should not take this medication. Additionally, this medication should be used cautiously in certain patients such as those with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, women who may become pregnant, children, and the elderly. These individuals should consult a physician before using this medication. During treatment with this medication, fluid intake should be strictly limited, particularly minimizing water consumption from 1 hour before administration to 8 hours after administration. If kidney function is impaired, the amount of water that can be consumed during this period should be reduced further. This medication can cause side effects including hyponatremia, headache, nausea, weight gain, and allergic reactions; therefore, any unusual symptoms should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
