Patients with severe immune compromise, such as bone marrow transplant recipients or AIDS patients, should also avoid this medication.

This medication should not be used on sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, mouth, or genital areas. While using this medication, it is advisable to avoid simultaneous use of certain drugs, especially those like acyclovir, as drug interactions may alter drug concentrations.

It is unclear whether the drug is excreted during breastfeeding, so it is prudent to refrain from breastfeeding to reduce unnecessary risks. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. Due to the lack of sufficient data on safety during pregnancy, it should only be used when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. Elderly individuals may experience side effects more easily, so they should be closely monitored during use. If skin abnormalities like dryness, peeling, burning, tingling, redness, pigmentation, or inflammation occur, discontinue use immediately and consult healthcare personnel. Care should be taken when using occlusive dressings, as they may lead to contact dermatitis. Prolonged or widespread use may result in various skin side effects including skin atrophy, telangiectasia, acne, and dermatitis. If these symptoms occur, the dosage should be gradually reduced or replaced with another medication that does not contain corticosteroids. Long-term use of this medication may suppress pituitary and adrenal cortex function, hence regular check-ups may be necessary. When applied around the eyes, caution is advised as issues such as increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma may occur. The duration of use for this medication is limited to 5 days, and if symptoms do not improve or worsen, use should be stopped and healthcare personnel consulted. This medication is intended solely for herpes labialis around the lips, and caution is warranted when differentiating between bacterial or fungal infections. This medication can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, so it must be used strictly according to the prescribed dosage and should not be used by individuals without symptoms. It should not be used for the prevention of infections from others or for the prevention of recurrent herpes simplex. This medication should not be diluted or mixed with other medications, and if used over large areas or with occlusive dressings, monitoring for systemic side effects may be necessary.
