It is advisable for pregnant women in the sixth month or later to avoid use, as it may pose risks to the fetus. It is also safer for children under 15 years not to use this medicine. Before using this medicine, asthma patients or individuals undergoing treatment for other conditions must consult a doctor or pharmacist. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid prolonged or extensive use of this medicine due to uncertain safety. This medicine contains an ingredient called propylene glycol, so caution is needed for individuals allergic to this substance.

While using this medicine, avoid direct exposure to sunlight and protect the skin by wearing clothes, hats, sunglasses, and using sunscreen when outdoors. Light-colored or thin clothing may allow UV rays to pass through, so wearing dark-colored clothes is recommended.

In case of skin infection, it should be used along with antibiotics or antifungals and symptoms should be closely monitored. When using for conditions like chronic arthritis, it is important to combine this medication with other treatment methods. Avoid using it on the eyes or mucosal areas, and take care when applying to areas with wounds or dermatitis, as irritation or pain may occur.
