Special warnings

For external use only. AIRTAL 1.5 g / 100 g cream should not be applied to open sores or wounds. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes or any other application site with ongoing skin lesions. If the use of aceclofenac cream causes symptoms of local irritation, administration must be discontinued and appropriate therapeutic treatment initiated. Avoid inappropriate exposure of the treated area to sunlight without adequate protection to prevent photosensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity and skin reactions: Prolonged use of products for dermatological use can give rise to sensitization phenomena. As with other NSAIDs, allergic reactions, including anaphylactic / anaphylactoid reactions, may occur even in the absence of previous drug exposure. Very rarely, severe skin reactions, some fatal, including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been reported with concomitant use of NSAIDs (see section 4.8). Patients appear to be at a higher risk for these reactions at the start of therapy as, in most cases, the reaction occurs in the first month of treatment. Aceclofenac should be discontinued as soon as skin rash, mucosal lesions or any other signs of hypersensitivity occur. The safety and efficacy of aceclofenac in children up to 14 years have not yet been established. No data are available in this regard. Exceptionally, chickenpox can cause severe skin and soft tissue infectious complications. To date, the role of NSAIDs in the aggravation of these infections cannot be excluded. It is therefore advisable to avoid the use of aceclofenac in case of chickenpox. Warnings about some excipients propyl parahydroxybenzoate, methyl parahydroxybenzoate: can cause allergic reactions (even delayed)
