This medication should not be used in patients who are hypersensitive to its components. It should be used cautiously in patients with prior adrenal dysfunction due to systemic steroid treatment, and if any allergic reactions occur, treatment should be immediately discontinued, and alternative therapy should be sought. Care should be taken when using in patients with heart disease, prolonged QTc interval, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or certain other conditions.

When using this medication, do not abruptly stop treatment, and it should not be used to treat acute bronchospasm or acute exacerbations.
