Taking high doses of diuretics or other medications that dilate blood vessels. Avoid performing risky tasks such as driving or operating machinery if feeling dizzy. Alcohol may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medication, increasing dizziness and possibly the risk of fainting. Cases of angioedema, which may occur at any time during treatment (especially after the first dose). If the patient experiences difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, hands, feet, or ankles while taking this medication, they should inform the doctor. This medication should not be used in patients with previous angioedema related to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels should be regularly monitored when taking this medication. A dry cough may occur with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, usually within the first few months of treatment, and stops within 1-4 weeks after discontinuation. Other causes of cough should be considered and ruled out before stopping this medication. It is also used with caution in the elderly and children. Cases of narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys (renal artery stenosis), low body fluid volume due to diuretic use, dialysis, diarrhea, vomiting, or dehydration.

Diseases affecting connective tissue, such as lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis. Pregnancy, as it affects the fetus. Breastfeeding, as it passes into breast milk. Low blood pressure may not necessarily warrant stopping the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in the future, especially in patients with heart failure, as the decrease in systolic blood pressure is a desirable effect.
