Especially in patients with heart failure or weakened kidney function, there is a risk of elevated potassium levels in the blood, necessitating regular blood tests. This medication can interact with other antihypertensives, diuretics, potassium supplements, certain antibiotics, and analgesics; therefore, patients should inform healthcare professionals of any concurrent medications. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised against taking this medication, and if necessary, should consult their physician to use safe alternative medications.
