The recommended dose of this medication is 1 tablet once daily, taken with water regardless of meals. It is recommended to take it at the same time each day (e.g., in the morning).

Child dose

Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients under 18 years of age have not been established, and the administration of this medication is not recommended.

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Due to its blood pressure-lowering effect, hypotensive symptoms may occur in patients with low intravascular blood volume upon initial use, so caution is needed. It should not be used in patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients or in those with severely impaired liver or heart function. In patients with high potassium levels in the blood or decreased kidney function, caution should be exercised, and regular testing is necessary. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur during treatment, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery. If taken with other antihypertensive medications, the blood pressure-lowering effect may be enhanced, so it should be taken according to the physician's instructions. This medication is not recommended for breastfeeding women, and caution is required for children and elderly patients aged 75 years or older as safety has not been adequately established. In case of overdose, blood pressure may drop too low or heart rhythm may become irregular, so dosage should be carefully followed.
