This drug should not be used by individuals who have experienced allergic reactions to its ingredients or have hypersensitivity to light. Individuals with asthma or a history of aspirin-induced asthma should avoid this drug, as it may trigger an asthma attack. People who have had allergies to certain medications should also use this drug with caution due to the potential for cross-reactivity. Pregnant women in their sixth month or later should avoid using this drug as it may harm the fetus. Children under 15 years of age should not use this drug. Patients with bronchial asthma, those undergoing treatment from a physician, and pregnant or nursing women should consult a specialist before using this drug. If symptoms of allergy such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling occur while using this drug, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. If symptoms of asthma attack such as wheezing or difficulty breathing appear, cease use immediately. Stop use if symptoms like rash, itching, blisters, swelling develop, or if skin reactions worsen due to sun exposure. If symptoms do not improve after one week of use, consultation with a doctor or pharmacist is necessary. The area where this drug is applied should be protected from sun exposure by clothing, hats, or sunscreen, and it is advisable to wear colored clothing since white or thin clothing may allow UV rays to penetrate. This drug helps alleviate symptoms but is not a treatment for the underlying cause. When used for inflammation accompanied by infection, appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents should be used together, and side effects should be monitored closely. For chronic conditions, consider other treatment options in addition to drug therapy and monitor the condition well. Do not use on the eyes or mucous membranes, and take caution when applying to damaged skin or eczema areas, as irritation or pain may occur.
