Patients with a very slow heart rate should also avoid taking this drug.

This medication may rarely cause symptoms such as indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or dry mouth. Liver function test values may increase. Cardiovascular symptoms such as dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, blood pressure changes, and increased blood uric acid levels may rarely occur. Neurological symptoms such as drowsiness, fatigue, headache, and insomnia may also occur. Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash, itching, or fever may occur. Taking this drug with other antihypertensive agents may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect, so blood pressure should be checked frequently. It may affect uric acid metabolism, so patients with a history of gout should use it with caution. Caution is needed when driving or operating machinery after taking this medication. This drug is metabolized by specific enzymes in the liver, so there may be interactions with other medications related to these enzymes. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this drug, as there have been reported harmful effects on the fetus in animal studies, requiring careful judgment. Nursing mothers should avoid using this drug or discontinue breastfeeding, as it may be secreted in breast milk. The elderly should be careful about dosage adjustments due to potentially diminished body functions. It is best to avoid using this drug in children as its safety has not been established. In case of overdose, blood pressure may temporarily decrease, so blood pressure should be monitored frequently, and necessary measures should be taken.
