Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals with specific allergic reactions or a history of asthma. Pregnant women, especially after the sixth month, should avoid this medication as it may pose risks to the fetus. It is also advisable for children under 15 years of age not to use this medication. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently receiving treatment, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, should consult with a professional before use. If severe allergic symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If there is difficulty breathing or symptoms of an asthma attack, stop using it immediately. If skin reactions such as rashes, itching, blisters, redness, swelling occur, or if skin reactions worsen after exposure to ultraviolet light, stop using it and seek advice. If symptoms do not improve after one week of use, consult a professional. The area where this medication is applied should be protected from ultraviolet light using clothing, hats, or sunscreen, as white or thin clothing may not sufficiently block ultraviolet rays. This medication is an adjunct therapy that helps alleviate symptoms and is not a treatment for the underlying cause. If there is a skin infection, appropriate antimicrobial agents should be used, and the condition should be monitored closely. When used for conditions such as chronic arthritis, other treatment methods should be considered alongside drug therapy and side effects should be monitored. Avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, and take care when applying to areas with wounds, eczema, or rashes, as irritation or pain may occur. Do not use on areas with fungal infections such as athlete's foot or ringworm, and avoid using occlusive dressings to cover the medication. Store out of reach of children to prevent accidents.
