Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who have experienced allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to light from specific components. Individuals with asthma or those who have experienced asthma attacks due to medications like aspirin should be cautious as using this medication may trigger asthma attacks. Furthermore, individuals allergic to similar ingredients should also refrain from using this medication. Pregnant women in their third trimester (over 6 months) should avoid this medication as it may harm the fetus. Children under 15 years old should not use this medication for safety reasons. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently under medical treatment must consult a healthcare professional before using this medication. Pregnant or nursing women should also avoid long-term or extensive use of this medication since its safety is not completely confirmed. If severe allergic reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, stridor, or difficulty breathing appear, they may indicate an asthma attack, so stop using it immediately and inform a doctor. Skin reactions such as redness, rash, itching, blisters, irritation, and swelling may occur, and exposure to sunlight may exacerbate these reactions; therefore, discontinue use if symptoms worsen. If symptoms do not improve after using for more than a week, stop the medication and consult a doctor or pharmacist. The area where this medication is applied should not be exposed to sunlight for 2 weeks during and after use; wear clothing, hats, sunglasses, or sunscreen to protect it. This medication is a treatment method that helps relieve symptoms but is not a medication that addresses the underlying cause. In cases of skin infections, use along with antibiotics or antifungal medications for infection treatment and monitor for potential side effects. When using this medication for chronic conditions such as arthritis, consider other treatment methods alongside drug therapy and closely observe the condition. Do not use this medication in the eyes or on mucous membranes, and be cautious of irritation or pain when applying it to wounds, eczema, or rash areas. Avoid using this medication on areas of fungal infections such as athlete's foot or tinea. Avoid sealing the area where the medication is applied with a bandage.
