During the early and mid-pregnancy stages, use should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, and if required, the dosage should be minimized and the treatment duration should be kept short. In the late stages of pregnancy, this medication should not be used as it may harm the fetus's heart, lungs, and kidneys, and may increase the risk of bleeding during delivery and delay labor.
