The sodium bisulfite included in this medication can cause severe allergic reactions or asthma attacks, so asthmatic patients should be particularly cautious. If hypersensitivity symptoms arise, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. Nervous system symptoms such as tremors or insomnia can occur rarely. Rapid heart rate symptoms can also rarely occur, necessitating caution. Nasal irritation or runny nose may develop; if symptoms worsen, stop use and consult a specialist.

Excessive use of this medication can worsen nasal congestion, so be sure to follow the prescribed dosage and administration. If symptoms do not improve after three days of use, it is recommended to stop using temporarily and consult a specialist. Avoid prolonged use for safety. Patients taking MAO inhibitors should avoid using this medication due to the risk of rapid increase in blood pressure. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously, as its safety has not been established, and only when necessary. Do not use this medication in the eyes or ears. To prevent contamination, it is recommended not to share this medication with others whenever possible. Do not use discolored products.
