If you have a history of asthma, liver or kidney disease, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use. Long-term use may increase the risk of systemic side effects.

Overdose with topical gel is unlikely, but if accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or abdominal pain. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
โฐ Missed Dose
