• Systemic Effects: Prolonged use or application over large areas may lead to systemic absorption, potentially causing side effects such as adrenal suppression. This is particularly a concern in infants and children.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
  • Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
  • Breastfeeding: Use with caution; avoid applying to the chest area to prevent accidental ingestion by the infant.
• Side Effects: May include local skin irritation, burning, itching, redness, and thinning of the skin. Prolonged use can increase the risk of systemic side effects.
