Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently receiving treatment from a physician should consult a specialist before using this medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only use this medication when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been established. Safety has not been proven for children, especially premature infants, neonates, infants, and toddlers, so consultation with a specialist is necessary before use. Elderly individuals aged 65 and older may experience skin adverse reactions more frequently, so they should closely monitor the condition of the skin at the application site. Care should be taken when using this medication if there is an allergy to the propylene glycol component included in it. If symptoms do not improve after using the medication for about one week, use should be discontinued immediately, and consultation with a specialist should be sought. If symptoms such as skin itching, redness (red spots), contact dermatitis, digestive disorders, or impaired liver function occur, use should be stopped, and consultation is necessary. If severe allergic reactions or shock symptoms appear, use must be stopped immediately and urgent medical treatment should be sought. The designated method and dosage must be adhered to, and it should be remembered that this medication aids in alleviating symptoms. In cases of skin infection, appropriate antibacterial or antifungal treatments should be used in conjunction with this medication, and the condition should be monitored closely. When using for long periods, such as in chronic arthritis, alternative treatment methods should also be considered, and attention to adverse reactions should be noted. The use of occlusive bandage therapy when using this medication should be avoided.
