Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to its components. Do not use on sensitive areas such as eyes, around the eyes, or mucous membranes. Avoid using it on skin with eczema or dermatitis from poison ivy, on wounds, or on very sensitive skin areas. If you have a history of allergic reactions to medications or cosmetics, or if you or your family members have allergies, please consult a professional before using this medication. If you have moist skin or skin that is blistered, are undergoing treatment by a physician, suffer from circulatory disorders or diabetes, are children under 12 years, pregnant or possibly pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, it is important to consult a professional before using this medication. If symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 days of use, immediately discontinue use and consult a professional. You must adhere to the prescribed method of use and dosage, and when used by children, a guardian must supervise and guide them. This medication is for external use only, and should not be ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with the eyes, and if it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water, and seek consultation from an ophthalmologist if symptoms are severe. Do not touch the eyes or mucous membranes with hands that have come into contact with the medication, and wash hands thoroughly afterward. Do not cover or wrap the area where the medication is applied, and take care to avoid exposure to hot water or heat. Be cautious as moisture on the treated area may cause irritation. Individuals with sensitive skin should not repeatedly apply this medication to the same site. Prolonged use over large areas may lead to symptoms of toxicity due to high absorption of methyl salicylate, so it is safer not to use it for long periods over wide areas. Keep out of reach of children, and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Medicines should be stored in their original containers, as transferring to other containers may pose a risk of misuse or deterioration in quality. After use, be sure to close the lid tightly, as leaking medication can cause damage or stains on plastics, clothing, wood, or leather.
