This drug may cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. It should not be used in individuals with allergies to any ingredients in this drug, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with severe liver impairment, those undergoing dialysis, or in shock. Patients with fluid or salt depletion or those with hypotension should be closely monitored at the beginning of treatment as their blood pressure may drop too low; appropriate treatment should be provided if necessary. Since there is a risk of rapid blood pressure drop due to vascular dilation, careful administration is required for patients with severe aortic stenosis or obstructive coronary artery disease. In patients with heart failure, careful use is warranted, and renal function should also be closely monitored in patients with impaired renal function. Patients with impaired liver function may experience delays in metabolism of this drug, thus requiring dosage adjustment and careful monitoring. This drug can cause various side effects, including dizziness, headache, hypotension, edema, gastrointestinal disturbances, skin rashes, and myalgia. In particular, if blood pressure drops too low or heart rhythms become irregular, consultation with a healthcare professional should be sought immediately. This drug may interact with other medications, so it is important to inform healthcare professionals of any current medications. In particular, taking grapefruit juice may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects excessively, so it is best to avoid it. It is generally advised not to take this drug during pregnancy, and if planning to become pregnant or after pregnancy confirmation, consultation with a physician is essential. If breastfeeding, it is necessary to consider stopping breastfeeding or changing medications, as this drug can be transmitted in breast milk and may affect the infant. It is recommended not to use this drug in children under the age of 18 as safety and efficacy have not been established. Elderly individuals may have reduced renal and liver function and should start at a low dose and carefully adjust the dosage. In case of overdose, severe hypotension and vasodilation may occur and immediate emergency treatment is needed. This drug should be stored in a tightly sealed container, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, and kept out of reach of children.
