Those who have had hypersensitivity to similar components found in other medications should be cautious. Pregnant women in their sixth month or later should avoid using this medication as it may pose risks to the fetus. It is also recommended that children under 15 years of age do not use this drug. Patients with bronchial asthma should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using this drug, and so should anyone currently under treatment. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also consult a professional before using this medication since its safety has not been established. If severe allergic reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling occur while using this drug, it should be discontinued immediately and a doctor consulted. Additionally, if signs such as wheezing or difficulty breathing appear, immediate consultation with a professional is necessary. If there are symptoms such as red spots, itching, blisters, or irritation on the skin that worsen upon sun exposure, discontinue use.

Caution should be exercised to avoid exposure to sunlight when using this drug, and protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen should be used when going outside. Light-colored or thin clothing may allow UV rays to pass through, so wearing dark clothing is advisable. While this medication helps alleviate symptoms, it is not a treatment for the underlying cause; therefore, other treatment methods should be considered when fundamental treatment is needed. If there is a skin infection, it should be used in conjunction with antibacterial or antifungal agents to prevent worsening of the infection, and the condition should be closely monitored. It should not be used on the eyes or mucous membranes, and care should be taken when used on damaged skin or in cases of eczema or rash due to possible temporary irritation or pain.
