This medicine is generally well tolerated with minimal or no side effects. However, minor burning, itching or redness may be seen after application, in some individuals. Consult your doctor if these persist or if your condition does not improve.

Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the medicine in these areas. Before using it, inform your doctor if you have any previous history of allergy to it or any other medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it.
