Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with certain skin infections. For example, it should not be given to those with bacterial infections such as tuberculosis or syphilis, fungal infections such as candidiasis or tinea, viral infections like herpes zoster, herpes simplex, or chickenpox, and patients with animal-derived skin infections like scabies or lice, as it may worsen their symptoms. Additionally, it should not be used by patients who have experienced allergic reactions to this medication or its ingredients, patients with eczema of the external auditory canal with a perforated eardrum, those with ulcers or severe burns or frostbite, scalp infections, perioral dermatitis, rosacea, pruritus ani or genital pruritus, and infants under 24 months. Women during pregnancy or those who might become pregnant, nursing mothers, children, the elderly, patients with poor liver function, or those with diabetes should exercise increased caution when using this medication. Skin infections may occur when using this medication, and if an infection worsens, use should be discontinued immediately, and appropriate treatment should be obtained. Various skin side effects such as skin irritation, itching, rash, and erythema may occur, and if these symptoms arise, use should be stopped. Long-term use may cause side effects such as skin thinning or dilated blood vessels, so it is advisable to stop using it as soon as symptoms improve. This medication can be absorbed systemically and may cause systemic side effects such as adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and increased blood sugar, so caution is especially needed when used extensively or with occlusive dressing. When used around the eyes, it may lead to increased intraocular pressure and eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts, so care must be taken to avoid contact with the eyes. For pregnant women, it is advisable not to use this medication extensively or for long periods, and nursing mothers should use it over minimal areas for as short a time as possible for safety. Children absorb the medication better than adults, leading to a higher risk of side effects, hence caution is necessary. This medication is not to be used in infants under 24 months. Elderly patients may also be prone to side effects, so careful monitoring is needed when using in large amounts or for long periods. Using this medication in excessive amounts can lead to serious side effects such as adrenal insufficiency; therefore, dosages should be gradually reduced or stopped according to the physician's instructions. This medication should not be applied directly to the eyes, should not be used for purposes other than treatment, and occlusive dressings must be applied under medical supervision. After use, wash hands thoroughly and ensure that the treatment area does not exceed 20% of the body surface area. Finally, this medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and stored in its original container to prevent misuse or quality degradation.
