Warnings

• Do not stop using the medicine without asking your doctor, even if you feel well. This medicine will not cure your high blood pressure, but it will help keep it in normal range. You may have to take blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.
• It is not safe to take this medicine during pregnancy. It could harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant.
• Make sure your doctor knows if you are breastfeeding or if you have kidney problems, liver disease, heart or blood vessel disease, congestive heart failure, low blood pressure, low blood volume, or mineral imbalance (such as high potassium or low sodium in the blood). Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, lupus, or an autoimmune disorder (such as collagen vascular disease or scleroderma).
• Call your doctor right away if you have severe stomach pain (with or without nausea or vomiting). This could be a symptom of intestinal angioedema.
• This medicine could lower your blood pressure too much and cause you to feel dizzy or lightheaded. Stand or sit up slowly if you are dizzy. This is more likely to happen when you begin to use the medicine. It could also happen if you have diarrhea or vomiting, you sweat heavily, or you do not drink enough water and become dehydrated. If you faint, stop using this medicine and call your doctor right away.
