Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO.

If you are elderly or have stomach problems, the simultaneous use of FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO and systemic anti-inflammatory drugs (i.e. drugs taken orally, intramuscularly or intravenously) is not recommended.

The use of topical products, especially if prolonged, may cause local sensitization (increased reactivity) or irritation. In this case, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor to establish appropriate therapy.

The possibility of systemic side effects with the application of topical diclofenac cannot be excluded if the preparation is used on large areas of skin and for a prolonged period.

To avoid any hypersensitivity or photosensitivity phenomena, do not expose yourself to direct sunlight, including solariums, during treatment and for the two weeks following.

Stop using FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO immediately if you experience any skin reactions such as rash, mucosal lesions or any other signs of allergy after applying the product.

FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO can be used with non-occlusive bandages but should not be used with occlusive bandages that do not allow air to pass through, as they increase absorption through the skin.

You should consult your doctor before using FASTUM PAIN RELIEF:
- if you have or have had in the past photosensitivity reactions after exposure to sunlight;
- if you suffer from chronic (i.e. long-lasting or permanent) obstructive bronchial diseases or inflammation of the nasal mucosa (nasal polyposis) and react to treatment with NSAIDs with asthma attacks, local inflammation of the skin or mucosa (Quincke's edema) or urticaria.

FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO must not be allowed to come into contact with the eyes or mucous membranes and must not be ingested.

The medicine should be applied only to intact, non-diseased skin, and not to skin wounds or open lesions.

Do not use for prolonged treatments. After a short period of treatment without noticeable results, consult your doctor.

Children and adolescents
There are insufficient data on efficacy and safety in children under 14 years of age.
Therefore, the use of FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO is contraindicated in children under 14 years of age (see "Do not use FASTUM ANTIDOLORIFICO").
