Your physician will assess the risks and benefits before prescribing this drug.

Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is important whilst on treatment with this drug, particularly when the dose is adjusted. If you are scheduled for surgery or anaesthesia, inform your physician that you are taking this drug, as it can affect your response to anaesthesia and other medications.
