Elderly individuals, patients with chronic bronchitis or allergic rhinitis, and those with a history of gastrointestinal disease should always consult a physician or pharmacist before use. It’s also important for individuals with poor liver or kidney function, severe heart failure, or hypertension to consult a specialist before use.

This medication is intended for external use only, and it should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes. The application area should be kept clean, and sweat or contaminants should be removed before applying the patch. It is advisable to remove the patch when bathing, and individuals with sensitive skin should first test a small area before applying it. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, discontinue use and consult a specialist, as this medication is a symptomatic relief treatment rather than a cure for the underlying cause.
