This drug should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients who have had an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to this drug or any of its components, patients with untreated infections of the nasal mucosa, patients who have recently had nasal surgery or have nasal disorders or trauma, and infants under 2 years should not receive this medication. Caution is also needed in patients with active or latent tuberculosis, untreated systemic infections, patients with ocular herpes simplex, recurrent nosebleeds, patients at risk of exposure to chickenpox or measles, patients with unilateral nasal polyps or cystic fibrosis-related nasal polyps, pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, and nursing mothers should be used cautiously. Using this medication can lead to various adverse reactions such as headaches, viral infections, pharyngitis, nosebleeds, coughing, upper respiratory infections, and menstrual discomfort. Occasionally, skin rashes, nasal irritation, liver function abnormalities, blood abnormalities, respiratory symptoms, etc., have also been reported, and rarely, serious allergic reactions such as bronchospasm or anaphylaxis may occur. Long-term use of high doses may lead to systemic side effects, hence caution is necessary. If severe bacterial infection symptoms appear, consultation with a doctor should be sought immediately, and if changes in the nasal mucosa or local fungal infections occur, discontinuation of the medication or treatment may be necessary. This drug tends to normalize the mucosa inside the nose, but regular examinations are needed with long-term use. Additionally, there is a risk of infection with chickenpox or measles, so attention should be paid to infection prevention and management.

Elderly patients should be observed closely for altered physiological functions and used cautiously. In case of overdose, no special treatment is typically required, but systemic corticosteroid side effects may occur, so caution is advised.
