Precautions

This medication contains flurbiprofen as an external analgesic and is used to relieve pain and inflammation. This medication should not be used by individuals who have previously experienced allergic reactions to flurbiprofen or similar medications. Individuals with a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-induced asthma or those who have had previous asthma attacks should also avoid using this medication. Patients with bronchial asthma should exercise caution while using this medication due to a risk of asthma attacks. Skin reactions such as redness, rash, itching, burning, or contact dermatitis may occur when using this medication. If such symptoms arise, discontinue use immediately. Additionally, this medication may trigger asthma attacks, so if symptoms such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, or breathlessness occur, stop using the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. While this medication provides symptom relief, it is not a cure for the underlying condition, so it is important to understand and use it for treatment purposes. Use with caution in areas with skin infections, as the infection may not be visible; therefore, concurrent treatment of the infection and careful monitoring of the condition is needed. For long-term use in conditions such as chronic arthritis, consider other treatment methods alongside this medication, and monitor closely for side effects. In early and mid-pregnancy, this medication should only be used if absolutely necessary, and both dosage and duration should be minimized. During late pregnancy, this medication should be avoided as it may pose risks to both the fetus and the mother. The safety in children has not been sufficiently established, so its use is not recommended. Elderly patients should use this medication carefully while closely observing their skin condition. Do not apply this medication to damaged skin or mucosal areas, or to areas with eczema or rashes, and it is advisable to clean the sweat off the application site before use.
