• Eye Contact: Ensure it doesn't get into the eyes or mucous membranes.
• Persistent Symptoms: If symptoms continue or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.
• Fire Hazard: Advise users against smoking or approaching open flames after applying the gel. Clothing, bedding, or any fabric in contact with the gel can catch fire easily. While washing can reduce the product residue, it won't eliminate it completely.

Warnings:

• "Do not use more than the recommended dosage. Not advised for children below 12 years. Exclusively for external application.
• Avoid during pregnancy or while breast-feeding. Refrain from using if you're allergic to any ingredients or have had issues with aspirin, ibuprofen or related painkillers (even orally).
• In case of lingering symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
• Keep this product away from children's sight and access.
• Asthmatic patients, individuals with active peptic ulcers or a history of kidney issues, and those already on aspirin or other painkillers should consult their physician before use."

• Potential Side Effects: Oral NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, can sometimes cause kidney issues, exacerbate peptic ulcers, or trigger allergic bronchial reactions in certain asthmatic patients. Even though topically applied ibuprofen gets absorbed systemically less than oral forms, these complications can occur, albeit rarely. Hence, individuals with a history of peptic ulcers, kidney issues, asthma, or any intolerance to aspirin or ibuprofen (oral) should get a doctor's opinion before using the gel.
