If contact occurs with eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina, rinse thoroughly with water. Improvement may take days or weeks; consistent use is crucial. Complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Consult your doctor if your condition worsens or fails to improve.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should use this ointment under medical supervision. Avoid use if allergic; an alternative treatment should be sought from your doctor.
