Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients who have had allergic reactions to specific ingredients. Additionally, those who have previously experienced asthma symptoms after using aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or have a history of asthma attacks should be cautious when using this medication, as symptoms may worsen. Those who have had allergic reactions such as hives or acute rhinitis should also avoid taking this medication. Patients with bronchial asthma must be particularly careful when using this medication, and those who have allergies or hypersensitivity to the ingredient propylene glycol should use it with caution. During use, symptoms such as itching, red spots, skin rashes, eczema, contact dermatitis, irritations, or blisters may occur, and if these symptoms worsen, use should be stopped immediately. This medication helps alleviate symptoms but is not a treatment for the underlying cause, so keep this in mind. When applying to areas with skin infections or those at risk of infection, it should be used in conjunction with appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents to prevent exacerbating the infection, and the condition should be closely monitored. When using for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should also be considered alongside drug therapy, and changes in the patient's condition should be carefully observed. The sodium benzoate included in this medication may cause slight irritation to the skin, eyes, or mucous membranes, so caution is needed. During pregnancy, especially in the later stages, this medication may pose risks of complications or delayed labor; therefore, it is advisable for pregnant women or those who may become pregnant and breastfeeding women to avoid using it. There is insufficient evidence regarding safety in children, and limited experience with use, so approach with caution. It is safer not to use this medication on damaged skin, mucous membranes, or areas with eczema or rashes.
