Precautions

This medication has a whitening effect on the skin, and exposure to sunlight may cause discoloration or side effects, so it is crucial to avoid sunlight and apply sunscreen or wear protective clothing during use. Animal testing revealed the potential for ingredients in this medication to cause mutations and cancer, so the duration of use should be adjusted based on therapeutic effect, and prolonged use should be avoided. This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to this medication or its ingredients, pregnant women, children under 12 years of age, or patients with kidney function problems. Individuals with allergies to sulfites or asthma may experience severe allergic reactions due to ingredients in this medication, so caution is required. If abnormal reactions such as itching, rash, or blisters occur on the skin, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist.
