This medication should not be used by individuals who have had an allergic reaction to it or any of its components. Individuals who have experienced asthma attacks due to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should avoid using this medication, as it may cause severe asthma attacks. Its safety has not been established for children under 15 years of age, so it should not be used. During the last three months of pregnancy, this medication should not be used due to potential risks to the health of the fetus and mother. During the use of this medication, other diclofenac formulations or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should not be used simultaneously. Patients with bronchial asthma, those with accompanying skin infections, chronic disease, pregnant or nursing women, and elderly patients should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. Particularly in the third trimester of pregnancy, serious side effects such as delayed birth, neonate bleeding, and fetal cardiopulmonary issues may occur, thus it should not be used. Nursing women should avoid using this medication, as it may be transmitted through breast milk and affect the baby. Elderly patients are at a higher risk of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and renal adverse reactions when using this medication, thus should exercise caution. If serious skin anomalies such as red spots, rashes, itching, blisters, or swelling occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Rarely, allergic reactions, angioedema, or asthma symptoms may appear, so immediate consultation with health professionals is recommended if such symptoms occur. This medication serves as symptomatic relief for inflammation or pain and does not treat the underlying cause, thus a re-evaluation of symptom improvement is necessary after 2 weeks. Do not apply to eyes or mucous membranes, and avoid using it on areas with damaged or inflamed skin. Avoid using in a sealed manner with bandages, and apply with caution to damaged skin as it may cause irritation or a tingling sensation. Use with certain antibiotics may increase the risk of convulsions, so immediate medical attention is required if convulsion symptoms occur. In cases of overdose, serious systemic side effects such as hypotension, renal function deterioration, convulsions, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory suppression, may occur. Patients with compromised kidney function should be carefully monitored when using this medication alongside diuretics, as it may worsen renal function. This medication carries the risk of causing serious gastrointestinal issues such as gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, thus careful observation for bleeding symptoms is essential when used concurrently with drugs affecting blood coagulation. Finally, this medication should be stored out of reach of children, in a cool and dry place, preferably in its original container.
