This medication should not be used in certain patients. Patients who are allergic to this medication or its ingredients, especially polyethylene glycol, or have experienced such reactions in the past should not use this medication. Patients with kidney disease should use this medication with caution. Since polyethylene glycol can be absorbed through damaged skin and excreted by the kidneys, it may pose risks to patients with impaired renal function. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential should refrain from using this medication. Additionally, nursing women should also avoid using this medication. It is not recommended to use this medication on damaged skin or open wounds for extended periods due to insufficient safety data indicating possible effects on immune function from animal studies.

Nausea, dry skin, swelling, and contact dermatitis may occasionally occur, and systemic allergic reactions have been reported rarely. If severe skin irritation or allergic symptoms occur while using this medication, discontinue use immediately, wash thoroughly, and consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medication should only be used for the minimum duration necessary to prevent the development of resistant bacteria, and it is advisable to perform sensitivity testing against the infectious pathogens.

When using on the face, take care to avoid contact with the eyes, and it is safe not to apply on mucous membranes such as the eyes or nose. No side effects affecting driving or operating machinery have been reported. When used with other medications, the effectiveness of this medication may be reduced, and its stability may decrease, so caution is needed.
