Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are hypersensitive to chlorhexidine. Direct use on critical areas such as the brain, spinal cord, eyes, or ears should be avoided as it may cause hearing damage or neurological disorders. It is particularly advised not to use on mucous membranes, especially the genital mucosa, and should not be used on infants under 2 months of age. People with a history of allergies to other medications or a family history of allergic diseases such as asthma should consult a physician or pharmacist before using this medication. Caution is needed when using on open skin, mucous membranes, or large areas of inadequately matured skin, as the risks may increase. If you experience symptoms of allergic reactions such as skin rash, hives, nausea, dizziness, or difficulty breathing while using this product, discontinue use immediately and consult medical personnel. This medication can rarely cause severe anaphylactic shock, so special attention is required. Take care to avoid contact with eyes; if it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. This medication is for external use only and should never be ingested or injected. If accidentally ingested, wash the stomach using milk, eggs, gelatin, etc., and go to the hospital immediately. When using for extended periods or on large areas, avoid inhaling vapors. It should not be used for disinfecting surgical instruments, and as it contains alcohol, it is flammable; precautions should be taken around flames or electrical equipment. Cleansers such as soap may reduce the sterilizing effect of this medication, so they should be thoroughly rinsed off before use. This medication can adsorb onto fiber or fabric, so fresh solution should be supplied to maintain adequate concentration.
