For pregnant women: The effectiveness of the drug during pregnancy cannot be predicted because the systemic exposure to phenazone and lidocaine is negligible, the manufacturer still allows Otipax to be used during pregnancy.
For lactating women: Normally, phenazone and lidocaine are not excreted in breast milk, so Otipax can still be used during breastfeeding.
Product storage: At room temperature (maximum temperature 30°C), do not store the medicine in a humid place, with direct light and out of the reach of children.
It is recommended to tighten the cap tightly after use. The drug is in the form of a solution, so it is easy to be degraded and damaged if not stored carefully.
