Moreover, persons with severe high blood pressure, heart or blood vessel problems, eating disorder, severe liver or kidney problems, transient ischemic attack or stroke should also avoid taking the medicine.

However, an increase in dose more than 15mg is not recommended. This drug should not be administered to individuals with severe renal dysfunction.
