This medication should not be used during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it may cause serious harm to the fetus. Patients with severely impaired liver function or progressive liver disease may experience serious side effects such as hepatic coma when using this medication, so caution is needed. Patients with severe renal disease may experience increased serum nitrogen levels due to the diuretic component of this medication, so renal function should be closely monitored. Patients who are allergic to or hypersensitive to any components of this medication or similar drugs should not be administered this drug. Certain patient groups, such as pregnant women or women with the potential for pregnancy, nursing mothers, patients with severe liver impairment, and patients with severe renal failure, are prohibited from using this medication. Patients with heart valve disease, severe hypotension, or in shock should avoid using this medication due to potential risks. This medication may cause side effects such as dizziness, hypotension, and headaches due to its blood pressure-lowering effects, and special caution is required, especially for the elderly or patients with weak renal function. During treatment with this medication, blood pressure, renal function, and electrolyte levels should be regularly checked for abnormalities. When used together with other antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, or potassium supplements, the risk of side effects may increase due to interactions, so consultation with a physician is necessary. This medication can affect fluid and electrolyte balance, so patients in a dehydrated state should consult healthcare professionals before taking it. Caution is needed as dizziness or drowsiness may occur when driving or operating machinery.
