Precautions

This medication should not be used on areas with chickenpox, athlete's foot, tinea, or infection. It should not be applied to mucous membranes such as eyes or inside the mouth. Also, avoid extensive application over large areas of the face. People with a history of allergic reactions to any medications or cosmetics should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. It’s advisable to consult a specialist if used on extensive skin lesions or in areas with high moisture or maceration. Women who are currently undergoing other treatments, pregnant, or possibly pregnant should exercise caution due to the hormonal components of this medication. If symptoms of fungal or bacterial infection appear on the skin, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. Long-term use may result in side effects such as steroid acne, skin thinning, vasodilation, and pigmentation irregularities; if such symptoms occur, reduce usage gradually and switch to another medication. If any irritation or rash occurs on the skin, use should be stopped immediately. Also, caution is required when used over long periods or on large areas due to potential adrenal suppression. If symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 days of use, consult a specialist. Using the medication on the eyes may impair vision; if this occurs, inform a doctor immediately. This medication must follow specified usage instructions, especially under adult supervision when used in children. It is not for oral intake, so do not take by mouth. Corticosteroid ingredients may lead to vision problems, so if there are any changes in sight or blurred vision, see an ophthalmologist. Store this medication in a tightly closed container to prevent air or moisture from entering, and keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight at a temperature between 1°C and 30°C. Storing it this way will help maintain its efficacy for a longer time.
