Patients with impaired renal function should be cautious as this medication can be absorbed significantly through the skin, which may pose a risk of toxicity if used over large areas for an extended duration. Individuals allergic to the propylene glycol component in this medication should also use it cautiously. If any symptoms such as rashes, redness, or itching develop while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Long-term or extensive use may lead to dermatitis or ulcers, so caution is required. It is advisable to stop use if irritation occurs on normal skin. If symptoms do not improve even after use, consult a healthcare professional. This medication is for external use only, and the prescribed dosage and administration must be strictly followed. For areas with suppurative dermatitis or moisture and maceration, treat those conditions first before using this product. Be particularly careful when applying to large areas due to an increased risk of side effects. Take care to avoid contact with skin areas other than the treatment site, and avoid contact with mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. If it gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and follow a doctor's instructions. If accidentally swallowed, consult a physician or pharmacist immediately. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication only when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. This product may be excreted in breast milk, so it should not be applied to the breast area while nursing.
