Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with certain skin infections. For example, symptoms may worsen in the presence of skin infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or animals. Additionally, patients who are allergic to this medication or have a history of hypersensitivity should not use it. Patients with external otitis who have perforation of the tympanic membrane or those with ulcers, severe burns, or frostbite should also be cautious, as skin healing may be delayed with this medication. It is advisable not to use this on patients with perioral dermatitis, common acne, rosacea, or perianal and genital itching. This medication should not be administered to children under 2 years of age. It should be used with caution in pregnant women, those who may become pregnant, nursing women, children, and elderly patients. Patients with an allergy to the propylene glycol component included in this medication should also exercise caution. Using this medication may lead to symptoms of skin infection; in such cases, appropriate antibacterial or antifungal medications may need to be used, or the use of this medication should be discontinued. Various skin reactions such as skin irritation, rash, itching, and dryness may occur, and if adverse symptoms arise, use should be discontinued. Prolonged use may result in steroid-induced skin changes, acne, skin atrophy, etc., so it's advisable to gradually reduce usage or switch to another medication. If this medication is used extensively or for long periods, there may be suppression of pituitary and adrenal function, so regular tests are essential. When applied near the eyes, caution should be exercised due to the risk of intraocular pressure increase or glaucoma, and it is necessary to seek ophthalmic care if symptoms such as blurred vision occur. This medication is generally not used for eczema or dermatitis accompanied by skin infection; however, if it must be used, it is advisable to do so in conjunction with antibiotics or antifungal agents. It is essential to discontinue use as soon as symptoms improve, and to stop immediately if symptoms worsen. During pregnancy or nursing, the use of this medication should be carefully considered for potential effects on the fetus or infant weighing the risks and benefits. In children, there may be a higher incidence of side effects due to the larger skin surface area relative to body weight, so it should not be used for more than 3 weeks without caution. Elderly patients also may experience adverse reactions more easily, so careful observation is needed when used in large doses or for extended periods. This medication is not for ophthalmic use and should not be used outside of treatment purposes, such as after cosmetic application or shaving. When using occlusive dressings, it should be done only under medical supervision after properly cleaning the affected area, and indiscriminate use should be avoided. Store this medication out of reach of children, and it is essential not to transfer it to another container to maintain quality.
