Elderly patients (75 years and older) should start treatment at a lower dose, and dosage may be adjusted.

This medication may cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters, so it should not be used by pregnant women or women who may become pregnant. Additionally, patients who are allergic to any component of this medication, have severe liver dysfunction, hypotension, or serious heart-related problems should avoid this medication. Patients with weakened liver or kidney function, especially those with significantly reduced kidney function, should use this medication with caution and under strict medical supervision.

Especially when taken with grapefruit juice, the effect may be excessively increased, so it is advisable to avoid it.
