  • Additional application of heat should be avoided during treatment with this preparation.
  • Areas of skin treated with the preparation should not be washed with warm water or exposed to the sun, as this can increase burning or stinging. Physical activity (sweating) also increases the heat effect.
  • After using the ointment, hands should be thoroughly cleaned.
  • If the drug gets into your eyes, you should see an ophthalmologist immediately. Thorough rinsing of the eye with plenty of cold water is recommended as an immediate measure.
  • Application in children
    • There are insufficient studies on the use of this medicine in children. It should therefore not be used in children and adolescents under the age of 18.
