While taking this medication, side effects such as dizziness, headache, facial swelling, urination disorders, insomnia, and flushing may occur, and rarely, serious kidney problems or blood pressure drops may occur. If blood pressure drops too low, immediate consultation with medical staff is required, and if symptoms of hypotension are severe, the patient should be laid down and should receive fluid therapy if necessary.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to avoid taking this medication, especially during pregnancy due to the potential risk to the fetus.
