Always consult a professional before extensive use on areas with allergies or a history of allergic diseases such as asthma, and on areas with wounds or sensitive skin. This medication contains a pigment called Yellow No. 5, so individuals sensitive to this pigment should exercise caution.

Care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately. This medication is for external use only and should not be ingested or injected. When used extensively or for prolonged periods, take care not to inhale the vapors.
