This medication should not be used in patients who have a history of allergic reactions to this medication or other piroxicam formulations. Also, it should not be administered to patients who have experienced asthma attacks triggered by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as aspirin asthma, or have a history of such attacks, as this medication can cause severe asthma attacks. Patients who have experienced allergic symptoms such as hives, rhinitis, or angioedema after the use of aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should also not use this medication. The safety of this medication has not been established for children under 14 years of age, so it should not be used in this population. Patients with bronchial asthma should use this medication cautiously due to the risk of severe asthma attacks. This medication contains propylene glycol; therefore, it should be used with caution in patients who are allergic or sensitive to this component. Side effects such as skin itching, redness, rash, and skin inflammation may occur, and if symptoms worsen, use should be discontinued. Long-term or excessive use may lead to systemic side effects such as nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, breathing difficulties, and kidney function abnormalities, which require caution. It should be remembered that this medication does not treat the causes of inflammation or pain but alleviates symptoms. When using on areas with skin infections, it should be used with antibacterial or antifungal agents to prevent exacerbation of the infection, and the condition should be closely monitored. For chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis, other treatment methods should also be considered in addition to pharmacotherapy, and the patient's condition should be continuously monitored. It should not be used during the last three months of pregnancy as it may be harmful to the fetus and mother, and caution is advised in early and mid-pregnancy due to uncertain safety. Breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication as it may be excreted into breast milk. The safety has not been established for preterm infants, neonates, nursing infants, toddlers, and children, so it should not be used in these populations. In elderly patients, the risk of side effects is higher, so it should be used cautiously at the minimum effective dose. It should not be applied to areas with skin wounds, hemorrhagic conditions, infections, burns, eyes, or mucous membranes, and should not be used with occlusive dressings. Caution is needed as there may be temporary irritation when applied to areas with skin damage.
