Severe itching or pain can sometimes occur, so discontinue use if these symptoms arise. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration strictly, and consult a professional if symptoms do not improve after 5-6 days of use. If large areas are treated for an extended period, there may be symptoms of toxicity due to significant absorption of methyl salicylate through the skin, so it's advisable not to use it on extensive areas for long. This medication is for external use only and should be applied to clean skin that is free from sweat or moisture at the treatment site. Do not warm the applied area with hot packs or electric blankets, and remove the patch before bathing to reduce skin irritation.
