It should not be used on mucous membranes, especially genital mucosa, and should not be used in infants under 2 months of age. If you have a history of allergies to other medications or have allergies such as asthma, you should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine. Care should be taken when using it on large areas of injured or immature skin, as it may have systemic effects. If allergic symptoms such as rash, hives, or itching appear during use, or if nausea, dizziness, or difficulty breathing occurs, stop using it immediately and consult a healthcare provider. Be cautious of potential photosensitivity reactions and avoid sun exposure. This drug is intended for topical use only and should not be ingested or injected. In case of accidental ingestion, wash the stomach with milk or eggs and seek medical attention. If it gets into the eyes, it may cause severe corneal damage, so rinse immediately with clean water, and avoid steam inhalation when used over long periods or large areas. This medicine is not suitable for disinfecting surgical instruments and contains alcohol, making it flammable, so caution should be exercised when using flames or electrical devices. Use should follow thorough cleansing of the skin with soap to maintain effectiveness. This medicine adheres well to cloth or gauze, so it is important to use it while maintaining an appropriate concentration of the solution.
