Precautions

This medication is an external preparation containing flurbiprofen, primarily used to alleviate pain and inflammation. First, individuals who have allergies or have shown hypersensitivity to flurbiprofen or similar ingredients should not use this medication. Furthermore, those with a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-induced asthma or have a history of it should avoid using this medication as it may trigger an asthma attack. Patients with bronchial asthma should exercise particular caution when using this medication, as there is an increased risk of exacerbating asthma symptoms. If symptoms such as redness, rash, itching, or burning occur while using this medication, you should stop using it immediately. Additionally, if initial symptoms of an asthma attack, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing, appear, stop using it immediately and consult a healthcare professional. This medication helps alleviate inflammation and pain, but it is not a treatment for the underlying cause, so it should be remembered that this is a symptomatic relief treatment. When applying to areas with skin infections, it is advisable to use antibacterial or antifungal agents to prevent worsening of the infection while carefully monitoring the condition. When used for chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, it is essential to combine other therapeutic methods alongside medication treatment and carefully monitor for any side effects. It is recommended not to use this medication during the early and middle stages of pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. If it must be used, it should only be at the minimum dosage and for a short duration. In the later stages of pregnancy, using this medication can harm the fetus's heart and kidneys and can lead to prolonged bleeding during childbirth or delayed labor, so it should never be used. Because the safety of this medication has not been adequately confirmed for children, it is advisable to avoid using it in this population. Elderly individuals may have more fragile skin; therefore, when using this medication, they should carefully monitor the skin condition at the application site and use it cautiously. Lastly, this medication should not be applied to damaged skin or mucous membranes, and it is important to clean the sweat from the area before application.
