Precautions

This medicine should not be used by individuals who are allergic to this medication or to the ingredients in this medication, especially imidazole class antifungals. During the use of this medication, do not apply it to the breast area if you are nursing to avoid contact with the baby. Additionally, this medication should not be used in the eyes or for ophthalmic purposes, and should not be applied to mucosal areas such as the eyes, nose, mouth, or to injured, inflamed, or severely irritated areas. Women who are pregnant, potentially pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist before using this medication. While using this medication, skin irritation symptoms such as redness, burning sensation, or itching may occur; however, these symptoms are usually temporary, and cessation of treatment is not necessary. However, if rare adverse reactions such as skin discoloration or cracking occur, or if any unusual symptoms not previously experienced arise, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. This medication contains alcohol, which may cause a slight warming sensation or skin dryness upon initial use, but this is generally not severe and treatment can continue. Considering the concentration of the active ingredient and the method of use, the risk of drug toxicity is minimal; however, if accidentally ingested, appropriate treatment should be sought immediately. When treating candidiasis, it is advisable to avoid using acidic soaps, as Candida thrives better in acidic environments. Finally, this medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and to prevent misuse or deterioration of quality, do not transfer the medication from its original container to other containers; keep it in its original container with the lid securely closed.
