Precautions

This medication should not be used by anyone who is allergic to this medication or its components. When using this medication, do not apply it to skin that has been shaved within the past 12 hours, has wounds, or is irritated. Additionally, do not use hair removal products within 12 hours before or after using this medication. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If contact occurs accidentally, rinse immediately with clean water. Pregnant women should consult a physician or pharmacist before using this medication. Although aluminum components are difficult to penetrate the skin, animal studies have reported potential reproductive effects. Breastfeeding women should also consult with a professional before using this medication, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the breast area. If contact occurs, clean thoroughly before nursing. For children under 12 years of age, safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently established, so consult a professional before use. If any abnormal reactions occur, such as skin irritation, itching, rash, or redness, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician or pharmacist. As sweating decreases, the skin may become irritated or red, so discontinue use if symptoms worsen. Using this medication more frequently than the recommended dosage may increase skin irritation, so caution is advised. If this medication is accidentally ingested, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and burning sensations in the mouth and throat may occur, so rinse the mouth thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if necessary. This medication contains alcohol, which can be absorbed systemically in cases of overdose, so caution is warranted. Applying excessively may cause skin peeling or redness; in such cases, moisturizing creams or low-potency steroid creams can be used to alleviate symptoms. This medication produces hydrochloric acid when it comes into contact with water, so the treatment area should be completely dried to reduce skin irritation before use. Apply only to the affected areas that require treatment and ensure it does not come into direct contact with clothing or metal products. When storing, pay attention to temperature, sunlight, and humidity, and keep it tightly closed in its original container. Transferring to another container may deteriorate quality or cause accidents.
