This medicine should not be used by patients with skin infections caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or animals. It should also not be used by individuals with allergies to this drug or its components. Avoid use in patients with otitis externa with a perforated eardrum, ulcers, severe burns, or frostbite. Furthermore, it should not be used by those with perioral dermatitis, common acne, specific dermatitis, or children under 2 years old. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, children, and the elderly should take special precautions when using this drug. Skin infections may occur, and side effects such as folliculitis, rash, itching, and skin irritation may appear. Long-term use can result in steroid-related side effects such as skin thinning or vasodilation, so caution is necessary. Extensive use of this drug or the use of occlusive dressings may lead to systemic hormonal imbalances, requiring regular check-ups. Care should be taken when using around the eyes, as there is a risk of increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma. It is generally not recommended to use for eczema or dermatitis accompanied by skin infections, but if it must be used, it is advisable to combine it with an antibiotic or antifungal. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, discontinue use immediately and do not exceed a treatment period of 7 days. Women who are pregnant or nursing should carefully weigh the benefits and risks before using this drug, and caution is also necessary during breastfeeding. Children may experience hormonal imbalances or growth disorders due to a larger skin area relative to their weight, so special care is required. The elderly may be more susceptible to side effects, so close monitoring is needed for long-term or extensive use. This drug should not be used for ophthalmic purposes, and it is recommended not to use it for purposes other than treatment, such as after makeup or shaving. Use of occlusive dressings should be done under medical supervision, and the affected area should be kept clean to minimize infection risks. Keep out of reach of children to prevent safety accidents.
