This medication can pose a serious risk to the fetus during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Patients with muscular problems or severely impaired renal function should not take this medication. Patients with severely impaired liver function or specific liver disease should also avoid this medication. Since this medication has a blood pressure-lowering effect, caution is required in patients with hypotension or severely compromised cardiac function. If symptoms of myalgia or muscle weakness occur, inform a doctor immediately, and in severe cases, discontinue the medication. Care should be taken when taking potassium supplements or potassium-containing medications as blood potassium levels may increase. It is important to periodically check liver and kidney function to ensure there are no abnormalities. Patients with a history of excessive alcohol consumption or liver disease should be cautious as liver function may be affected when taking this medication. This medication contains certain coloring agents, so individuals allergic to these should avoid it. Precautions are required when driving or operating machinery as dizziness or drowsiness may occur. If taking other medications, interactions may occur, so those on other treatments should inform their doctor or pharmacist.
