If used right before delivery, ensure to clean and bathe the newborn to remove any residual medication. This medication is a conservative treatment method, and if symptoms do not improve, surgical treatment should be considered. When used for extensive burn patients, adequate hydration and monitoring of renal function and metabolic status is essential, and use should be discontinued if any abnormalities occur. This medication may affect thyroid diagnostic tests, so there should be a period gap between testing and administration, and attention should be paid to changes in thyroid function. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication for extended periods or extensively, as it may affect the thyroid function of the fetus or newborn. If absorbed, this medication may interfere with thyroid function test results, so this should be noted. In case of an overdose, symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, or coma may occur, and appropriate detoxification and symptomatic treatment will be necessary.
