Before Using This ProductIf you are using this product without a prescription, carefully read and
follow any precautions on the label. For diethyltoluamide, the following should
be considered:
Allergies - Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or
allergic reaction to diethyltoluamide. Also tell your health care professional
if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives,
or dyes.
Pregnancy - Diethyltoluamide has not been studied in pregnant
women. However, studies in animals have shown that diethyltoluamide is passed
on to the offspring. One animal study has shown diethyltoluamide to cause
death of the fetus. Before using diethyltoluamide, make sure your doctor knows
if you are pregnant or if you may become pregnant.
Breast-feeding - Diethyltoluamide has not been reported to cause
problems in nursing babies.
Children - Children may be at increased risk of side effects
because of increased absorption of diethyltoluamide through their skin. Use
only products that have low amounts of diethyltoluamide and apply it sparingly
to the exposed skin of children.
Other medicines - Although certain medicines and products should
not be used together at all, in other cases two different products may be
used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor
may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your
health care professional if you are using any other prescription or nonprescription
(over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
