Care must be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membrane areas; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before using this medication. Although aluminum ingredients are not easily absorbed through the skin, there are reports from animal tests that suggest reproductive effects. Women who are breastfeeding should also consult a professional before using this medication and should avoid contact with the chest area. If contact occurs, it should be washed thoroughly before breastfeeding. For children under 12 years of age, safety and efficacy are not established, so consultation with a professional is necessary before use. If unusual reactions such as skin irritation, itching, rash, or redness occur during use, stop using immediately and consult a professional. Excessive use of this medication can lead to severe skin irritation; if ingested, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and burning sensation in the mouth and throat may occur, so rinse the mouth sufficiently and follow medical instructions. This medication reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid, so the treatment area must be completely dry before application, and care must be taken to apply only to the treated area, avoiding direct contact with clothing or metal. During storage, due to sensitivity to light, it should be kept in a container that blocks light. Additionally, it is important to store it in a cool place below 25 degrees centigrade to maintain its efficacy.
