This medication may disrupt the normal bacterial balance in the mouth, so it is advisable not to use it for an extended period. Individuals who have had an allergic reaction to this medication should not use it. Those with asthma or allergic disorders, or a history of such conditions, should exercise caution when using this medication. During use, staining may occur on teeth and in the mouth, and calculus may increase, as well as a change in oral sensation. Care should be taken, especially in children, as the oral mucosa may weaken. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may cause dizziness, difficulty breathing, seizures, etc., and if these symptoms occur, use should be discontinued immediately, and medical attention should be sought. If allergic symptoms such as rash or urticaria develop, use should be stopped, as severe cases may lead to life-threatening shock. Occasionally, inflammation of the salivary glands may occur after using this medication. In the case of a general bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used instead of this medication, and it is typically not used for more than 10 days.

Staining may occur on surfaces such as teeth, prostheses, and the back of the tongue, so caution is required. Those using rough or gap-filled prostheses may experience increased staining, so it should be used cautiously, and those who do not wish to have staining should avoid using it. Pregnant women should only use this medication when the benefits outweigh the risks, and breastfeeding women should use it cautiously as it may pass into breast milk.
