This medication should not be applied to the eyes or mucous membranes, and should not be used on areas with skin wounds, eczema, or rashes. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid using it on areas with fungal skin conditions such as athlete's foot or tinea. Patients with bronchial asthma or those currently receiving treatment from a physician must consult a specialist before using this medication.

If symptoms do not improve after using this medication for more than a week, usage should be discontinued immediately and a consultation with a specialist sought. If skin symptoms such as itching, redness, contact dermatitis, or gastrointestinal disturbances, or liver dysfunction symptoms appear during use, immediate discontinuation and consultation with a doctor are necessary. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may occur; if symptoms like difficulty breathing, hives, or facial swelling appear, immediate medical treatment should be sought. This medication must be used exactly as prescribed and it is important to remember that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a method of treatment that helps relieve symptoms. If there is a skin infection, it should be used in conjunction with appropriate antibacterial or antifungal agents to avoid concealing the infection, while closely monitoring the condition. In the case of chronic diseases, other treatment methods should also be considered along with this medication, and careful observation for adverse reactions is necessary.
