Patients with mild bradycardia or renal function issues should use this medication cautiously. While taking this medication, gastrointestinal problems such as anorexia, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dry mouth may rarely occur. There may also be an increase in liver function test results. Circulatory issues such as dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, hypertension, blood pressure reduction, and elevated blood uric acid levels may occur infrequently. Central nervous system symptoms like drowsiness, fatigue, headache, tinnitus, and insomnia have also been reported. Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, hives, itching, flushing, and heat sensations can occur. Taking this medication with other antihypertensive agents may cause excessive hypotension, so blood pressure should be monitored frequently. Patients with a history of hyperuricemia or gout should take this medication with caution. After taking it, one should be careful when driving or operating machinery. This medication is metabolized by a specific enzyme (CYP4502D6) in the liver, which may interact with other drugs that use the same metabolic pathway. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication when deemed absolutely necessary by a physician, as it could harm the fetus. If breastfeeding, this medication may be excreted in breast milk, so it should be avoided if possible, or breastfeeding should be stopped. Elderly individuals may have reduced body functions, so dosage adjustments may be necessary. Safety for children has not yet been established, so it is advised not to use it in children.
