Patients who have previously experienced an allergic reaction to this drug or other flurbiprofen formulations should not use it. Additionally, patients with a history of asthma attacks triggered by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) known as aspirin-induced asthma should be cautious, as asthma attacks may occur with this medication. Patients with bronchial asthma should use this drug carefully, as there is a risk of asthma attacks occurring. While using this medication, there may be adverse reactions such as redness or rashes on the skin, itching, burning sensation, or contact dermatitis. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately. If initial symptoms of an asthma attack, such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, or a bubbling sound, appear, stop using the drug immediately, as asthma attacks can occur within hours after application. This medication helps alleviate symptoms, but it is not a treatment for the underlying cause, and users should understand this before use. When using this medication on inflamed areas associated with skin infections, the infection may not be visibly apparent, so appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents should be used, and careful monitoring should be conducted. When using this drug for chronic conditions such as degenerative arthritis, it is important to consider other treatment options along with medication, and to carefully monitor the patient's condition and side effects.

The safety of this drug in children has not been sufficiently established, so its use should be avoided. In elderly patients, use this drug carefully while paying special attention to the skin condition.
