Precautions

This medication is an external agent that contains flurbiprofen and is used to relieve inflammation and pain. This medication should not be used in patients who have experienced allergic reactions to flurbiprofen or similar drugs in the past. Additionally, this medication should not be administered to patients with a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-induced asthma or those with a history of it, as it may trigger an asthma attack. Patients with bronchial asthma should be especially careful when using this medication, as there is a risk of an asthma attack, and it should be administered cautiously. When using this medication, side effects such as redness, rash, itching, burning sensation, and contact dermatitis may occur, and if such symptoms arise, use should be discontinued immediately. Moreover, this medication may cause an asthma attack, so if initial symptoms such as wheezing or difficulty breathing occur, use should be stopped. As an anti-inflammatory analgesic, this medication helps relieve symptoms but does not treat the underlying cause, so it should be understood and used with this point in mind. When using this medication on inflamed areas accompanied by skin infections, appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents should be used to prevent worsening of the infection, and the skin condition should be carefully monitored. When using this medication for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should be considered along with drug therapy, and attention should be paid to potential side effects. It is advisable not to use this medication during the early and mid-stages of pregnancy, except in special cases, and if necessary, it should be used at the lowest dose for the shortest duration. In the late stages of pregnancy, this medication should not be used, as it may harm the fetus's cardiopulmonary and kidney function and cause risks of bleeding at delivery and delayed labor. The safety of this medication in children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so it is preferable to avoid use in young children. For elderly patients, the skin may be fragile, so the skin condition of the application site should be carefully monitored while using this medication.
