Pregnant or breastfeeding women must carefully consider the risks and benefits of using this medication, and during breastfeeding, it is advisable to discontinue use or temporarily halt breastfeeding. Children may be more sensitive to the drug than adults, so treatment should be administered at the minimal necessary dose while paying attention to side effects such as adrenal suppressions or growth impairment. Situations where the skin is sealed due to diapers or similar should be monitored, as increased drug absorption may raise the risk of side effects. Prolonged or excessive use may result in adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and skin infections, so it is essential to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms arise. Psoriasis patients may experience worsening skin symptoms during or after discontinuation of prolonged large doses, so add caution. This medication contains sodium benzoate, which can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, so care is required during use. If blurred vision or visual disturbances occur related to corticosteroid use, it is advisable to see an ophthalmologist. A sudden discontinuation of topical steroids may lead to withdrawal syndrome, so reconsider whether to reuse upon symptom emergence. This medication should not be used ophthalmically, and it is safer not to use it other than for treatment purposes after cosmetics or shaving.
