Precautions

This medicine should not be used by patients who are allergic to specific ingredients or have previously used this or similar medications and experienced allergic reactions. Additionally, patients with asthma who have had asthma attacks due to aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or those who have had symptoms such as hives or acute rhinitis should not use this medication. Patients with asthma should take special care when using this medication, as asthmatic attacks may occur. When using this medication, symptoms such as itching, red spots, rash, eczema, or contact dermatitis may occur, and rarely, irritation or blisters may develop. If these symptoms worsen, usage should be discontinued. This medication does not completely treat inflammation or pain but aids in symptom relief. When using on areas with skin infections, it may obscure the infection from view, so it should be used in conjunction with antibacterial or antifungal agents and the condition should be monitored closely. For chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, other treatment options should also be considered alongside medication treatment, and careful observation of the patient's condition and any adverse effects should be undertaken. In late pregnancy, this medication may cause complications or delayed labor, so it should not be used by pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, or nursing mothers.
