In cases of chronic diseases such as degenerative arthritis, alternative treatment methods should be considered in addition to medication, and monitoring for side effects should be conducted meticulously. It should not be used during early and mid-pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, and if necessary, it should be used at the lowest dose for the shortest duration. It should not be used during late pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus's heart, lungs, or kidneys and can cause bleeding or delayed labor during childbirth. Safety in children has not been sufficiently proven, and use is not recommended. Elderly patients should be monitored closely for skin condition and use it cautiously.
