Precautions

This medication should not be taken by individuals with an allergic reaction to this medication or its components. Patients with ulcers in the stomach or duodenum or children under 2 years old should not take this medication. Additionally, this medication contains lactose, so those with a genetic condition that prevents them from digesting lactose should avoid it. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor before taking this medication and should only use it if absolutely necessary. Nursing mothers should also consult a professional before taking this medication as it may pass into breast milk. If digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, mouth inflammation, heartburn, and diarrhea occur during use, or if allergic symptoms such as hives, itching, rash, headache, tinnitus, or bronchospasm occur, the medication should be stopped immediately, and a doctor should be consulted. This medication may occasionally cause increased heart rate or elevated blood pressure, so caution is advised. If taken with antibiotics, the effectiveness of the antibiotics may be reduced, so it is recommended to take them at least 2 hours apart. Do not mix other medications with this medication's solution. Keep out of reach of children and store in the original container to prevent misuse or degradation in quality. When used for inhalation, individuals with bronchial asthma or respiratory issues should consult a professional before taking it and should stop taking it and consult if any abnormal symptoms arise. Mild intoxication, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite may occur during inhalation, and in rare cases, symptoms such as blood-streaked sputum, chills, fever, drowsiness, or chest tightness may appear, so caution is needed. If there is an increase in bronchial secretions, appropriate treatment should be received as natural expulsion may be difficult. Inhalation medications should not be mixed with antibiotics, nor should they be used as injectables or eye drops. A mask may adhere to the face after spraying, but it can be easily removed with water. Elderly individuals should use this medication cautiously as bodily functions may be impaired, and their condition should be closely monitored. Inhalation devices should be cleaned immediately after use and should not be exposed to the solution for extended periods. Caution should be exercised as mixing with other medications may cause precipitation or discoloration, and it is advisable to dilute it during continuous spraying to avoid excessively high concentrations.
