Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals with allergies to benzalkonium chloride or other ingredients. Those who have experienced allergic symptoms such as rash, redness, swelling, or irritation after using a nasal spray in the past should consult with a physician or pharmacist before using this medication. Also, it is important for individuals currently undergoing medical treatment, having recently undergone nasal surgery, or having wounds in the nasal area to consult with professionals before using this medication. This product is for nasal use only, and to maintain hygiene, it should not be shared among multiple users. When using, it's necessary to tilt the head sideways or lie at an angle to prevent the liquid from going down the throat. If it enters the throat, there may be sudden spasms causing the throat to constrict. Benzalkonium chloride can cause bronchial spasms, so caution is required especially with prolonged use as it may cause irritation or swelling in the nasal passages and mucosa. Store away from heat and never use products after their expiration date. Keep out of reach of children, and do not transfer the medication from its original container to another container, as it may lead to misuse or deterioration of quality, so always keep it in the original container and close the lid securely.
