This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, it should not be administered to individuals allergic to this medication or ergot alkaloids, patients with acute myocardial infarction, patients with acute bleeding, individuals taking sympathomimetic drugs, patients with very slow heart rates, patients with intracranial hemorrhage who have not completed hemostasis, and patients with orthostatic hypotension. Additionally, this medication should be used with caution in patients with slightly slow heart rates or impaired renal function. Gastrointestinal symptoms may rarely occur, such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or cramps, and dry mouth. Liver function test values may increase, and symptoms of circulatory system anomalies such as dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, hypertension, elevated blood uric acid levels, and blood pressure decrease may also occur rarely. Furthermore, symptoms related to the central nervous system, such as drowsiness, fatigue, headache, tinnitus, insomnia, and allergic reactions like skin rashes, urticaria, itching, flushing, and sensation of heat, may also appear rarely. When taken with other antihypertensive agents, the blood pressure-lowering effect may be enhanced, requiring frequent blood pressure monitoring. It may also affect uric acid metabolism, so caution is necessary for patients with a history of hyperuricemia or gout. After taking this medication, caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. This medication is metabolized in the liver, so it may interact with other drugs that affect liver metabolism. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication, as animal studies have reported potential harm to the fetus. Nursing mothers should either avoid taking this medication or discontinue breastfeeding. Elderly patients may have diminished bodily functions, so careful dosage adjustments are necessary, and its safety in pediatric patients has not been established. In case of overdose, blood pressure may temporarily drop, so blood pressure changes should be monitored and necessary actions taken.
