Initiate appropriate treatment for gout or hyperuricemia, which may include lifestyle modifications, medications to lower uric acid levels, and pain management for gout attacks.
Hyperglycemia
Use caution with diabetes mellitus. Monitor blood glucose levels regularly, especially in patients with diabetes or those at risk of developing hyperglycemia. Manage hyperglycemia through appropriate interventions, which may include changes in medication or insulin therapy for diabetic patients.
Hypotension

Discontinue the medication immediately if severe hypotension occurs. Supportive measures, such as increasing fluid intake and changing body position slowly, can be implemented to manage mild symptoms.
Myopia, acute angle-closure glaucoma
