Patients with symptoms of orthostatic hypotension should avoid use as symptoms may worsen. Patients with severely impaired liver function may experience elevated blood levels from this medication, which is dangerous.

While taking this medication, side effects such as dizziness, abdominal discomfort, indigestion, diarrhea, and headache may occur. Occasionally, symptoms such as skin rashes, itching, blood pressure drop, palpitations, nausea, and vomiting may also arise, so if unusual symptoms appear, consult a doctor immediately. In case of overdose, there is a risk of decreased blood pressure, so the prescribed dosage must be strictly followed.

Dizziness or drowsiness may occur while driving or performing hazardous tasks, so caution is advised. Serious side effects, such as allergic reactions or persistent priapism, may very rarely occur while taking this medication, so it is essential to monitor for unusual symptoms.
