This medication can rarely cause allergic reactions, so if symptoms such as breathing difficulties or hives occur, use should be discontinued immediately. Symptoms such as pain, itching, rash, and redness on the skin may arise, and in severe cases, skin ulcers or contact dermatitis may develop, necessitating cessation of use if symptoms worsen. Excessive use can cause electrolyte imbalance, metabolic abnormalities, or kidney dysfunction. Long-term use may lead to changes in thyroid function, requiring careful monitoring. Large quantities or prolonged contact may lead to sensations of burning or pain in the mouth and throat, eye irritation, skin reactions, digestive issues, and other concerns, so caution is necessary. If used just before childbirth, the newborn's eyes should be washed promptly and bathed to ensure no residue of the drug remains. If therapeutic effects are absent, surgical intervention should be considered, and since this medication may affect thyroid testing, it is advisable to interval the administration and testing by 1-2 weeks. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid prolonged or extensive use of this medication, as it may impact the thyroid function of the fetus or newborn. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water. This medication should not be mixed with other drugs, and the affected area should be thoroughly washed before application. Store in a tightly sealed container that blocks light, and since it may corrode in metal containers, it should be stored in appropriate containers.
