It is advisable not to use it on extensive wounds or burns, especially in neonates or premature infants. Care should be taken not to inhale vapors when used for a long time or extensively. The antimicrobial effect of this medication may be reduced due to soap or cleaning agents, so the skin should be washed clean before use, ensuring no soap residue remains. If skin irritation or allergic reactions persist for more than 72 hours after use, discontinue use and consult a professional.
