Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals with specific allergic reactions. For instance, individuals who have previously experienced allergic reactions to this medication or similar substances should avoid its use. Furthermore, individuals with aspirin-induced asthma or those who have had hives, rhinitis, or facial swelling due to aspirin should not use this medication. Pregnant women in their sixth month or later should not take this medication as it may cause problems during delivery and may be dangerous for the fetus. It is also advised that children under 14 years old do not use this medication. Prior to using this medication, it may be essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. For example, individuals with bronchial asthma or those with a history of allergies must consult with a specialist before use. Caution is also needed for individuals taking anticoagulants or blood-thinning medications. Those who have had stomach ulcers, bleeding, or perforation issues, or have liver or kidney dysfunction should consult a specialist before use. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as elderly individuals, should also seek consultation before taking this medication. If sudden allergic reactions occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. If skin irritation, redness, rash, or inflammation occurs, stop using the medication and consult with a specialist. Additionally, prolonged or excessive use may result in nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, shortness of breath, or kidney problems, so caution is advisable. If symptoms do not improve after one week of use, discontinue use and consult a doctor. This medication helps to relieve inflammation and pain, but it is not a treatment for the underlying cause. It may worsen skin infections if used together with antibacterial agents, so the condition should be monitored closely. If used for chronic conditions, consider other treatment methods alongside the medication and carefully monitor for side effects. Do not use on areas with skin wounds, inflammation, or infection, nor in the eyes or mucosal areas, and avoid using with occlusive dressings. Careful use is warranted when skin damage is present to prevent irritation. This medication should be stored out of reach of children to prevent safety accidents.
