This medication can cause serious harm or death to the fetus and newborn if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it must be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication should not be administered to certain patients, such as individuals allergic to this drug or its components, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, breastfeeding women, patients with severely impaired kidney function, patients with severe liver disease, or individuals with certain muscle disorders. Due to antihypertensive effects, dizziness or hypotension may occur; thus, caution is needed, especially in patients with decreased blood volume or salt. The initial phase of administration requires careful monitoring. Patients with weak kidney function or kidney transplant recipients should have their kidney function and serum electrolyte levels regularly tested when administered this medication, and caution should be exercised in patients with renal vascular issues. The medication can cause hyperkalemia, so heart failure or patients with kidney dysfunction should closely monitor serum potassium levels. Muscle-related adverse reactions such as muscle pain, myopathy, and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis may occur, so any severe muscle pain or weakness should be reported to healthcare providers immediately. This medication may affect liver function, so patients with liver disease history or abnormal liver enzyme levels should undergo liver function tests both before and during treatment. There may be drug interactions with other medications taken together, so it is essential to inform healthcare providers of any currently prescribed medications, especially when used in conjunction with potassium-sparing diuretics, lithium, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take this medication, and women planning to become pregnant should use appropriate contraceptive methods.
