Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are hypersensitive to benzalkonium chloride. Temporary eye irritation, burning sensation, pain, conjunctival hyperemia or swelling, and eyelid inflammation may occur during use. Rarely, conjunctivitis or allergic reactions may develop, so caution is needed. It is advisable to avoid wearing soft contact lenses during treatment. If symptoms improve but exposure to allergy-inducing substances continues, it is recommended to continue using the medication. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should consult with a physician before using this medication and should only use it when the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. This medication is for ocular use only; care should be taken not to allow the tip of the container to come into direct contact with the eye during instillation. To prevent contamination, avoid sharing the medication, and any medication that comes into contact with the skin around the eyes should be cleaned off. It is safe to avoid using any remaining medication after one month of opening. Store this medication out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, and in a cool, dry place.
