Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to benzalkonium chloride or any other ingredients in this medication. Individuals who have previously experienced allergic symptoms like rash, redness, swelling, or irritation after using nasal drops should consult a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist before using this medication. It is important for individuals currently receiving treatment, who have recently undergone nasal surgery, or who have lesions in the nose to consult with a healthcare specialist before use. This medication is intended for direct application to the nose only; for hygiene reasons, it should not be shared among multiple people. When using, it is important to tilt the head to the side or lay down in a reclining position to prevent the liquid from passing into the throat, as it may cause throat muscle spasms. Benzalkonium chloride in this medication may induce bronchial spasms, so prolonged use can lead to irritation, swelling, and edema of the nasal mucosa. When storing, avoid direct sunlight or heat, and do not use expired products. Store in a safe place out of reach of children, and do not transfer the medication to other containers, as this may lead to misuse or degradation of quality; always keep it in its original container and close it tightly.
