Precautions

This medication contains chlorhexidine and should not be used by individuals who have had an allergic reaction to chlorhexidine. Do not apply directly to important areas such as the brain, spine, eyes, or ears, as this may cause hearing damage or neurological disorders. Particularly, it is safe not to use on sensitive areas such as mucous membranes of the genitals. This medication should not be used for infants under 2 months of age. Individuals allergic to other medications or with allergies such as asthma or a family history of allergies must consult a specialist before use. Caution should be taken when using extensively on areas with wounds, burns, or immature skin, as the risks may increase. If allergic symptoms such as skin rash, hives, nausea, dizziness, or difficulty breathing occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. In severe cases, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylactic shock may occur; prompt action is needed if symptoms appear. Avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water. This product is for external use only and should not be ingested or injected. If accidentally ingested, the stomach should be rinsed using milk or eggs and medical attention sought. When used for a prolonged period or over a large area, care must be taken not to inhale the vapor. Should not be used for sterilizing surgical instruments, and caution is needed near flames or heat due to alcohol content. Using soap may decrease the bactericidal effect of this product, so it should be thoroughly rinsed off before use. This medication is absorbed by materials such as cotton, gauze, wool, and rayon; if the solution is insufficient, it should be replaced with fresh solution. The skin must be completely dry before using electrical equipment.
