Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients with certain skin infections or allergies to the ingredients of this medication. Particularly, it should not be administered to patients with bacterial, fungal, viral infections, perforated eardrums, ulcers, severe burns, perioral dermatitis or acne, genital itching, or infants under 2 years old. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, nursing mothers, children, elderly individuals, and patients with allergies to propylene glycol contained in this medication should use it with caution. During the use of this medication, skin infections can worsen, so if any infection symptoms appear, use should be discontinued immediately, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Long-term or extensive use may lead to thinning of the skin or changes in pigmentation, acne, dermatitis, and various side effects, so caution is required. Moreover, extensive usage may affect hormonal functions, so regular check-ups may be necessary. Care should be taken when using it around the eyes, as ocular diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts may occur. This medication should not be used for ophthalmic purposes, and use after makeup or shaving on the skin should be avoided. When used with occlusive dressings, it must be done according to a physician's directions, and the affected area should be kept clean to reduce the risk of infection. Keep out of reach of children, and pregnant or nursing women should consider the risks and benefits of using this medication thoroughly before use. In children, particularly, hormonal suppression or growth disturbances can occur, so it is advisable not to use it for longer than 3 weeks.
