This medication is flammable; therefore, it is essential to avoid fire hazards such as flames, cigarettes, and fire sources while using it. This medication contains corticosteroid components, which may cause side effects such as adrenal suppression, worsening diabetes, and osteoporosis if absorbed systemically. Particularly, when using occlusive dressings or applying to large skin areas, damaged skin, or areas where the skin folds, there is a higher risk of systemic absorption, and caution should be exercised. If this medication is used for an extended period or over large areas, it is necessary to regularly check hormone levels such as blood cortisol concentration. Due to the calcipotriene component, hypercalcemia may occur, so use should be discontinued immediately if this symptom appears. This medication should not be used in individuals who are hypersensitive to it, have calcium metabolism disorders, certain types of psoriasis, infected skin, children under 12 years of age, or on facial or mucosal areas. Elderly individuals, patients with liver disease, and diabetics must exercise additional caution when using this medication, as it may impact blood sugar control. If localized side effects such as skin redness, itching, or irritation occur during use, discontinue immediately and consult a doctor. If it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water, and if symptoms are severe, seek ophthalmic care. It is preferable not to use this medication concurrently with other topical corticosteroids, and efficacy may be diminished when combined with salicylic acid. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using this medication, especially during the early stages of pregnancy, where caution is advised. Children under 12 years are not recommended for use, as safety and efficacy have not been established. Excessive use may lead to elevated blood calcium levels or adrenal function suppression, so it is crucial to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage and regimen.
