• if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to pain and and rheumatism drugs of all kinds, you are more at risk of asthma attacks (analgesic intolerance/analgesic asthma), local swelling of the skin and mucous membranes (Quincke's edema) or urticaria than other patients;
• if you are taking other substances hypersensitive (allergic) reactions, e.g. with skin reactions, itching or hives;

Veneitis caused by a blood clot (thrombosis) should not be massaged.

Reparil N Gel should not be used on large areas over a long period of time, unless prescribed by a doctor.

Since the salicylic acid compound contained in the drug penetrates the skin to a considerable extent and can lead to undesirable effects, caution is advised in patients with kidney dysfunction and in children.

Long-term treatment over large areas should be avoided in such patients. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that if the gel is applied to large areas and if blood-thinning medication or medication to treat high blood sugar is taken at the same time, their effect will be increased. The undesirable effects of methotrexate can be increased.
