Precautions

This medicine is for topical use only and should not be used on certain patients or areas. First, individuals who have had an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to this medication should not use it. Patients with diabetes or blood circulation problems should also avoid this medication. Do not apply to mucous membranes around the eyes, mouth, nose, or areas with skin infections, inflammation, redness, or irritation. Consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication in certain situations. If you have previously experienced skin allergic reactions from drugs or cosmetics, you must consult first. Patients with liver or kidney function issues should be cautious, as extensive and prolonged use could lead to toxicity due to absorption through the skin. Additionally, individuals allergic or hypersensitive to the ingredient propylene glycol should use it cautiously. If symptoms such as rash, redness, or itching occur while using this medication, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Long-term excessive use may lead to dermatitis or ulceration, so cease use if these symptoms arise. It can cause irritation even with normal skin contact, so exercise caution. If symptoms do not improve after repeated applications, discontinue use and consult a professional. Particularly in children or adolescents with chickenpox or influenza, consider the serious risk of Reye's syndrome as a possible side effect. This medication is for external use only; follow the specified methods and dosages rigorously. If there is festering, moisture, or wounds on the skin, treat those areas first before application. Applying to wide areas may increase the risk of side effects, so be careful. Avoid contact with skin areas outside the affected area and do not let it come into contact with mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. If it accidentally gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and follow medical advice. If swallowing occurs, consult a doctor or pharmacist immediately. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should use this medicine with caution. Animal studies have reported a risk of teratogenic effects, so it should only be used during pregnancy when absolutely necessary. This medication can be transmitted through breast milk, so nursing mothers should avoid applying it to the breast area. When used in children, supervision by an adult is required. Children may experience side effects more readily, so avoid applying to large areas or using it for extended periods. Lastly, store this medication out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, and in a cool place. Do not transfer the medication to a different container, and always close the cap when not in use. Also, be cautious about storing it near flames.
