Caution

• It is crucial to be cautious when considering use of this topical skin medication. Some situations could require dosage changes, specialized testing, or sometimes, not using the medicine at all. If you have any of the following conditions in particular, you need to speak with your doctor about them: bad circulation, liver or kidney disease and diabetes. It is important to make sure that your doctor is aware of your full medical history, including any allergies to foods or medications that you might have.
  
  

Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women

• It is uncertain as to whether Salex can cause harm to unborn babies. It is also uncertain as to whether the medication can be excreted into human breast milk (and ultimately possibly lead to permanent damage to the baby). As a result, it is very important that women who are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or presently are breastfeeding speak with their doctor before using the medicine.
