Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with bacterial, fungal, viral, or animal skin infections, as it may worsen symptoms. Additionally, it should not be administered to individuals allergic to this medication or its components, those with perforations in the eardrum, patients with ulcers or severe burns, and those with certain types of dermatitis. Caution is advised for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, children, especially infants under 2 years old, and the elderly when using this medication. While using, bacterial or fungal infections may occur in the skin, and if symptoms such as itching, rash, redness, or dry skin appear, use should be discontinued. Prolonged use may lead to side effects such as thinning of the skin or dilation of blood vessels, so it is recommended to reduce or stop use if symptoms arise. Using this medication extensively or with occlusive dressings may lead to systemic side effects, so regular check-ups are necessary. If symptoms improve, it is advisable to discontinue use as soon as possible, and it is recommended not to use it for more than 7 days. Be cautious when using around the eyes as it may increase intraocular pressure or cause glaucoma; this medication is not to be used for ophthalmic purposes. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should discuss with a doctor before use, considering the potential effects on the fetus or baby, and use it for the minimum necessary period and dosage. Children have thinner skin and absorb medications well, so prolonged use should be avoided, and care should be taken as the medication may be occluded due to diapers, increasing absorption. Elderly patients may experience side effects more easily, so it should be used with care in large amounts or for prolonged periods. Overuse may lead to systemic side effects, so the prescribed dosage and frequency should be followed. This medication should not be used after make-up or shaving, nor should occlusive dressings be applied without a doctor's instructions. Facial skin is particularly sensitive, so it is not advisable to use it for extended periods, and it should be kept out of reach of children. Lastly, caution is needed as prolonged large-scale use by psoriasis patients may worsen skin symptoms.
