Individuals who have experienced asthma attacks due to aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should also exercise caution, as using this medication may induce asthma attacks. This medication should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes, nor on damaged skin or areas with eczema or rashes. It is also advisable not to use this medication on areas affected by skin conditions such as athlete's foot or ringworm. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently undergoing treatment should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment are judged to outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. Caution is advised when using this medication in children, particularly premature infants, newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, as its safety has not been confirmed and there is no experience of use. Elderly patients aged 65 years and older may have a higher likelihood of experiencing adverse skin reactions while using this medication, hence careful monitoring of skin condition is necessary. If symptoms do not improve after using for more than one week, usage should be discontinued and a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted. Skin-related adverse reactions such as itching, erythema, and contact dermatitis may occur, and symptoms such as indigestion or liver function abnormalities have also been reported. In severe cases, acute allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur; therefore, if such symptoms appear, use should be immediately discontinued and medical advice sought. This medication must be used in accordance with the prescribed methods and dosage, and it should be remembered that anti-inflammatory analgesics are not a cure for the underlying cause but only help relieve symptoms. When using on inflamed areas due to infection, it should be applied along with appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents, while closely monitoring the condition. For chronic conditions, other treatment options should also be considered in addition to medication, and checking for adverse reactions should be done meticulously. Avoid occlusive dressing techniques when using this medication, and store it out of reach of children. Also, do not transfer the medication from its original container to another; store it carefully in its original container and keep it tightly closed to maintain its quality.
