Precautions

This medication contains the ingredient Flurbiprofen and is primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation. This medication should not be used by individuals who have had allergic reactions to Flurbiprofen or similar medications in the past. Additionally, those who have previously experienced specific asthma attacks known as aspirin asthma should also not use this medication as it may trigger asthma attacks. Patients with bronchial asthma or allergies to propylene glycol should use this medication with caution. Moreover, as this medication contains sodium para-aminobenzoate, it may pose risks for allergic reactions or asthma attacks, so asthma patients should use it with more caution. If skin abnormalities such as redness, rash, itching, or burning sensation occur during use, stop using it immediately. Additionally, if symptoms of asthma such as difficulty breathing or wheezing appear, stop using it quickly and consult with a healthcare professional. While this medication helps alleviate inflammation and pain, it is not a medication that treats the underlying causes, so it should be used with this understanding. In cases of skin infections, using this medication alone may mask the infection, so it should be used in conjunction with antibacterial or antifungal agents, and the condition should be monitored closely. When using for chronic diseases like degenerative arthritis, other treatment methods should also be considered alongside medication, and the occurrence of side effects should be monitored closely. During the early and mid-stages of pregnancy, this medication should only be used when absolutely necessary, and the dosage and duration should be minimized as much as possible. In the late stages of pregnancy, it should never be used due to potential risks to the fetus and mother. Safety for children has not been sufficiently confirmed, so use is not recommended. In the elderly, this medication should be used carefully while closely monitoring skin conditions. Lastly, this medication should not be used on wounds, damaged skin, or areas with eczema or rashes, and it is advisable to clean the area of sweat before application.
