Precautions

Medical Evaluation for Severe Cases: See a doctor for rapidly worsening, large, or non-healing infections, fever, spreading redness, or possible MRSA.
Allergy Alert: Check labels if you have known allergies to antibiotics (neomycin, sulfa, penicillin), antifungals, or preservatives.
For External Use Only (most topicals): Do not apply in the eyes, deep wounds, or mouth unless directed.
Finish Prescription Courses: Complete antibiotics as prescribed—even if symptoms improve—to avoid recurrence/resistance.
Prevent Resistance/Overuse: Only use antibiotics when necessary, not for viral conditions.
Avoid Steroid Combinations on Fungal/Viral Infections: Unless prescribed; steroids can worsen infections.
Monitor for Side Effects: Rash, swelling, burning—stop use and seek care if severe reaction.
Do Not Use Expired Medications: Potency and sterility may be compromised.
