Precautions

This medication contains chlorhexidine and is used for sterilization and disinfection purposes. However, individuals with allergies or hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine should not use this medication. Especially, it should not be used on areas that directly contact the central nervous system, such as the brain, spinal cord, and ears, as it may cause hearing impairment or neurological damage. Additionally, when used on mucous membranes such as the vagina, bladder, or oral cavity, shock reactions may occur, so caution is required. It can cause severe corneal damage if it gets into the eyes, so care must be taken to avoid contact with the eyes. It is also safer not to use it on areas with ulceration or pus. Individuals with allergies to other medications or a history of asthma or allergic diseases should use this medication with caution. If symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or redness occur during use, discontinue use immediately and seek professional help. Pregnant or nursing women are advised not to use this medication. This medication should only be used externally, and accidental ingestion or injection can cause serious side effects, necessitating immediate medical attention. After use, it should be stored in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children, avoiding direct sunlight. When diluting the solution for use, clean distilled water should be used, and the diluted solution should be made fresh daily for safety. Care should be taken to maintain the effective concentration of this medication as it may adsorb to fibers or fabrics, and using it with soap or organic materials may reduce its sterilizing effect. Finally, it is important to strictly adhere to the usage instructions and dosage before using this medication and to consult with medical staff regarding any history of hypersensitivity.
