It should not be used by individuals who are allergic to terbinafine or other ingredients of this medication. Pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, and nursing mothers should avoid using this medication. It should not be used in children under 15 years old as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently confirmed.

If excessive irritation occurs or symptoms worsen, stop use and consult with a professional. Do not use occlusive dressings or packaging techniques without the physician's guidance, and if symptoms do not improve with this medication, tests should be conducted to check for other infectious causes. Since it contains ethanol and other alcohol components, local irritation may occur, so caution is needed when using it on children or mucous membranes. Care should be taken when applying it to wounded or extensive areas or to infants, as absorption could lead to systemic effects. Although animal studies have not reported risks to the fetus during pregnancy, safety in humans has not been established, and it should only be used when necessary.
