Skin infections, itching, rashes, and skin dryness may occur as side effects when using this medication. Prolonged use may lead to thinning of the skin, acne, skin discoloration, and other issues. Extensive or long-term use can affect the body's overall hormonal balance, so caution is necessary. If used around the eyes, there is a risk of increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma, so care should be taken. This medication is not generally used for eczema or dermatitis accompanied by skin infections; however, if necessary, it is recommended to combine it with antibiotics or antifungals.

Treatment should be discontinued as soon as symptoms improve, and use should be stopped immediately if symptoms worsen.

Elderly patients are at higher risk for side effects, so careful monitoring is necessary during use.
