This medication should not be used by individuals who have had specific allergic reactions or photosensitivity. Those who suffer from asthma induced by aspirin or have experienced asthma attacks from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should use this medication with caution, as it can worsen asthma. People with known allergies to certain medications should also avoid this drug. Pregnant women after the 6th month should not use it as it may harm the fetus. It is generally unsafe for children under 15 years. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently receiving other treatments should consult a professional before using this medication. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid long-term or high-dose use, as its safety has not been established.

If asthma symptoms or wheezing and difficulty breathing arise, stop using it promptly and seek medical care. If symptoms such as redness, rash, itching, blisters, and swelling appear on the skin, or if exposure to ultraviolet light exacerbates skin reactions, use should be discontinued. If symptoms do not improve after more than a week of use, it's advisable to consult a doctor or pharmacist.
