Patients with active tuberculosis or untreated systemic infections, those who frequently experience nosebleeds, patients who may have been exposed to chickenpox or measles, and pregnant or nursing women should be particularly cautious when using this drug. Its effectiveness is not certain in patients with nasal polyps or those with completely blocked nasal passages, so caution is advised. Various side effects can occur when using this drug. Headache, cold-like symptoms, sore throat, nosebleeds, cough, and upper respiratory infections have been commonly reported, and some patients may experience skin rashes or irritation of the nasal mucosa. Rarely, serious allergic reactions such as bronchospasm or difficulty breathing may occur, so if symptoms occur, usage should be stopped immediately and healthcare professionals should be consulted.

Additionally, regular monitoring is needed to observe changes in the nasal mucosa during long-term use. Pregnant or nursing women should carefully consider the risks and benefits of using this drug, as it may affect the fetus or infant, and must consult with their healthcare provider. When using this drug in children, there may be a slowdown in growth rate, so regular monitoring of growth status is recommended, and treatment should be carried out at the lowest possible dose.
