Do not use if you have had an allergic reaction to Terbinafine or any component of this medicine. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, as well as breastfeeding women, should consult a doctor before using this medicine.

The safety and efficacy of this medicine in children and adolescents under 18 years of age have not been sufficiently confirmed, and its use is not recommended. In cases of severe nail infections or when multiple toenails or fingernails are affected, or if you have diabetes, an immune disorder, circulatory problems, or a history of skin disease, it is important to consult a specialist before use. If you are taking other medications or have taken any recently, be cautious if you have a condition that could be aggravated by alcohol. If your skin becomes severely red or irritated during treatment, discontinue use immediately and consult healthcare personnel. This medicine is for topical application only; avoid contact with mucous membranes, such as the eyes or mouth, and if contact occurs, thoroughly rinse with clean water. It is advisable to avoid nail cosmetics or nail polish during use. This medicine does not affect driving or operating machinery; however, application to damaged skin may cause stinging due to the ethanol content. If you do not adhere to the treatment period, the infection may not completely heal and could worsen again, so it should be used consistently during the recommended period. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible, and if it is close to the time for the next dose, apply it only once to continue the treatment. If this medicine is accidentally swallowed, inform a doctor or pharmacist immediately and visit the nearest hospital. This medicine is minimally absorbed in the body, so the potential for interactions with other medications is very low. It is recommended not to use other medicines on the infected area during treatment. It is rare to exceed the recommended dosage, and while no significant systemic symptoms are expected with an overdose, appropriate treatment is necessary depending on the symptoms. This medicine should be kept out of the reach of children, stored in its original container, and the lid should be securely closed to prevent the contents from drying out.
