It should also not be used around the eyes, and it is advisable to avoid use in cases of extensive wounds. Individuals with a history of allergic reactions should use this medication cautiously, and those with deep or severe wounds or hypersensitivity to other medications should also exercise caution. It is crucial to monitor for shock symptoms when using this medication; if any symptoms such as nausea, redness, or difficulty breathing occur, use should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be sought.

Follow the dosage and administration instructions precisely, and especially when using on children, it should be done under the supervision of a guardian.
