Patients with hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, or edema should consult a healthcare professional before taking this medication, as it may affect pre-existing conditions. Elderly patients may have decreased physical function, so they should take a reduced dose or use caution when taking this medication. If you are taking other medications, consult a professional, as there may be potential interactions with this drug.
