Before using this medication, patients with bronchial asthma or those currently undergoing treatment, as well as pregnant or nursing women, should consult their doctor or pharmacist. Especially in the case of pregnant or nursing women, it is advisable to avoid long-term or extensive use. During the use of this medication, serious allergic reactions or shock symptoms can rarely occur; if such symptoms appear, use should be immediately discontinued, and consultation with a specialist should be sought. If symptoms of an asthma attack or breathing difficulties arise, use should be stopped immediately. If skin redness, rashes, itching, blisters, or swelling appear, or if skin symptoms worsen due to UV exposure, usage should be discontinued. If symptoms do not improve after one week of use, consultation with a specialist is necessary. Precautions should be taken to avoid UV exposure during the period of use and for two weeks afterward, protecting the application site with clothing, hats, sunglasses, or sunscreen.

When used for chronic arthritis or similar diseases, consider other treatment options and closely monitor the condition. It should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes; care should be taken as it may cause irritation or pain when used on damaged skin or areas with eczema.
