Caution is also necessary for patients with orthostatic hypotension, cerebrovascular disease, increased intracranial pressure, and arterial stenosis. Due to its vasodilatory effects, this medication may cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, hypotension, and increased heart rate. Headaches commonly occur during the initial treatment phase but typically resolve within a week. Skin rash or itching, gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur infrequently. Abnormal liver function or jaundice may develop, so it is important to undergo regular liver function tests. Alcohol consumption may increase adverse reactions, thus it is advisable to avoid alcoholic beverages. This medication is not suitable for relieving angina attacks quickly, so alternative rapid-acting medications should be used. If symptoms worsen or effects are not achieved, it may be necessary to change to different treatments. Abruptly stopping this medication may worsen symptoms, so discontinuation should follow a doctor's guidance. Caution is necessary when taken together with other antihypertensive agents, vasodilators, certain antidepressants, and alcohol, as it may lead to excessively low blood pressure. In particular, concurrent use with certain erectile dysfunction medications can cause serious side effects, so it should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should carefully consider the risks and benefits of taking this medication and should avoid taking it while breastfeeding or discontinue breastfeeding.

In case of overdose, symptoms such as headache, flushing, vomiting, fainting, tachycardia, and hypotension may occur, and severe cases may require emergency treatment. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and in its original container to prevent quality degradation.
