Additionally, caution is advised for those with prior allergic reactions to specific medications due to the potential for cross-reactivity. Pregnant women in their sixth month or later should refrain from using this medication as it may harm the fetus. Use in children under 15 years of age is not recommended. Individuals with bronchial asthma should consult a physician or pharmacist before using this medication. Persons currently undergoing other treatments, pregnant, or breastfeeding should also consult a professional before use.

If initial symptoms of an asthma attack, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing, occur, stop using the medication immediately. Skin may redden, or rash, itching, blisters, and swelling may occur, and exposure to direct sunlight can exacerbate these symptoms; therefore, if symptoms worsen, discontinue use.
