First, this drug should not be used by those who are allergic or have had hypersensitivity to flurbiprofen or similar medications. Additionally, patients with a specific type of asthma known as aspirin-induced asthma or those who have previously experienced such asthma attacks should avoid this medication as it may exacerbate asthma symptoms. In patients with bronchial asthma, caution should be exercised when using this medication as it may provoke asthma attacks. During use, skin reactions such as redness, rash, itching, or burning may occur. If such symptoms arise, discontinuation of use should happen immediately. Furthermore, if initial symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, or difficulty breathing appear, it could be an asthma attack, so usage should be stopped immediately and a physician consulted. This drug aids in alleviating symptoms but does not treat the underlying cause, so it should be understood and used accordingly. When used on inflamed areas accompanied by skin infections, it should be used with antimicrobial or antifungal medications to prevent worsening of the infection and the condition should be closely monitored. When used for long-term diseases such as chronic arthritis, other treatment methods should also be considered in addition to drug therapy, and careful monitoring for the occurrence of side effects is necessary. During the early and mid-pregnancy stages, it is advisable not to use this medication unless absolutely necessary, and if it must be used, it should be at the minimal dosage for the shortest duration. In the last trimester of pregnancy, it must not be used as it may pose risks to the fetus and mother. The safety of this medication for children has not been sufficiently established, so use in children should be avoided. Elderly individuals should use this medication cautiously, as their skin may be more sensitive, and it is important to check the condition of the application area carefully. Finally, this medication should not be applied to damaged skin or areas with eczema or rash, and it is important to clean any sweat from the area before use.
