Precautions

This medication is a topical preparation used primarily to relieve pain or inflammation. Individuals who have experienced allergic reactions to the ingredients in this medication should not use it. In particular, those who have asthma, including aspirin-induced asthma or have a history of it, should avoid using this medication, as it may trigger an asthmatic attack. Furthermore, patients allergic to other medications containing similar ingredients should also exercise caution. Women in the later stages of pregnancy, specifically after 6 months, should refrain from using it due to potential harm to the fetus. Children under 15 years old should not use this medication as well. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently undergoing other treatments should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid using it over extended periods or on large areas, as the safety of this medication has not been fully confirmed. If you experience hypersensitivity reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Also, stop using it and seek medical advice if symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing or difficulty breathing, occur. Discontinue use if you notice symptoms on the skin, such as rashes, itching, blisters, or redness, or if exposure to ultraviolet light exacerbates skin symptoms. If symptoms do not improve after using the medication for more than a week, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. The area where this medication is applied should be protected from sunlight using clothing, hats, sunglasses, or sunscreen. Specifically, light-colored or thin garments may allow UV rays to penetrate, so wearing colored clothing is recommended. This medication helps alleviate symptoms but is not a treatment for the underlying cause. If a skin infection is suspected, appropriate antibiotics or antifungals should be used alongside this medication, monitoring the condition closely. In cases of chronic arthritis, it is advisable to consider other treatment options in conjunction with medication. Do not apply to eyes or mucous membranes, and be cautious if applying to damaged or inflamed skin, as irritation or pain may occur. Avoid using it on fungal infection sites, such as tinea or dermatophytes. Additionally, do not use occlusive dressings that tightly bind the application site. Lastly, this medication should be stored in a safe place out of the reach of children.
