Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who have had allergic reactions to specific components or sensitivity to sunlight. Caution is necessary for those with asthma or a history of aspirin-induced asthma, as it may trigger an asthma attack. It is also advisable for individuals with a history of allergic reactions to certain medications to avoid using this product. Pregnant women in their sixth month or later should avoid this medication as it may be harmful to the fetus. Children under the age of 15 should not use this medication. Individuals with bronchial asthma or those undergoing other treatments should consult a physician or pharmacist before use. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid prolonged or high-dose use as its safety has not been established. If severe allergic symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If respiratory symptoms like wheezing, bubbling sounds, or difficulties in breathing occur, stop use and consult medical staff. If rashes, itching, redness, blisters, or swelling occur on the skin, or if skin reactions worsen due to sun exposure, discontinue use. If symptoms do not improve after using the medication for about a week, it is advisable to consult a professional. The area to which the medication is applied should be protected from sunlight with clothing, hats, sunglasses, or sunscreen. Treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms rather than eliminating the underlying cause, so other treatment methods may also need to be considered if necessary. When there is a skin infection, the medication might worsen the infection, so appropriate antibiotics or antifungals should be used while keeping the condition closely monitored. When used for chronic conditions, other treatment methods should also be considered alongside medication, and attention should be paid to side effects. This medication should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes. Care should be taken as irritation or pain may occur when using this medication on damaged skin, eczema, or rash areas. This medication should not be used for fungal infections such as athlete's foot or ringworm. Avoid covering the applied area with an occlusive dressing.
