This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. Patients with allergies to this medication or its components, pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with severe liver disease, hereditary angioedema, and patients with severe kidney impairment should not take this medication. Care should be taken when prescribing to elderly patients, patients with hyperkalemia, mild to moderate liver impairment, cardiovascular diseases, or those with sodium or fluid depletion, starting with a low dose and closely monitoring their condition. Blood pressure may drop rapidly on first use, so if symptoms of dizziness or fainting occur, medical consultation should be sought immediately.

Interactions may occur when combined with other antihypertensives, diuretics, or anti-inflammatory analgesics, so patients must inform their physician or pharmacist. If symptoms such as muscle pain, rash, difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, blood pressure drop, or abnormal kidney function occur during treatment, the medication should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought.
