Warnings & Precautions
Do not use if allergic to salicylates/NSAIDs or lidocaine/local anaesthetics. Use with caution in children (risk if swallowed), in asthma or history of NSAID allergy, and in patients with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulants. Avoid applying to large areas or using excessively; seek medical advice if ulcers persist >7 days, are recurrent, or are accompanied by fever. Stop use and seek care if signs of allergy (facial swelling, breathing difficulty) occur.
Drug Interactions
Anticoagulants/antiplatelets (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) may increase bleeding risk due to salicylate absorption; other NSAIDs/salicylates (additive effects). Lidocaine interactions are mainly with antiarrhythmics (e.g., mexiletine) or strong CYP inhibitors if significant systemic absorption (unlikely with recommended topical oral use).
Storage Instructions
Store at room temperature (below 25°C), tightly closed. Protect from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
