Patients with asthma symptoms referred to as aspirin-induced asthma or those with a history of such symptoms should not take this medication, as it may trigger an asthma attack.

When applying to areas with skin infections, antibacterial or antifungal agents should be used to prevent aggravation of the infection, and conditions should be closely monitored. When used for chronic diseases like degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should be considered along with medication therapy, and careful monitoring for side effects is important.

In late pregnancy, this medication should not be used due to the risk of serious side effects for the fetus and mother.

For elderly patients, the skin may be fragile, so the application site should be carefully checked and used cautiously.
