This drug should not be used in patients who are allergic to quinolone antibiotics or have a history of hypersensitivity. Severe allergic reactions may occur rarely, presenting symptoms such as nausea, coldness in the limbs, and breathing difficulties; if these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek appropriate treatment. Various hypersensitivity reactions may occur, such as arrhythmia, angioedema, airway obstruction, skin rash, itching, and eye redness; if these symptoms arise, you must stop using the medication. Temporary stinging, discomfort, redness, itching, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision may occur in the eyes. Moreover, serious skin conditions like severe keratitis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome could develop, so discontinue use immediately if abnormal symptoms appear. There may also be auditory disturbances or irritation symptoms, hence caution is needed. To prevent the development of resistant bacteria, this medicine should only be used for the minimum duration needed after confirming susceptibility to the infection-causing bacteria. Prolonged use may lead to excessive proliferation of non-susceptible microbes such as fungi, so long-term use should be avoided, and alternative treatments should be considered if recurrent infections occur. In particular, during trachoma treatment, administration should be based on an 8-week course; thereafter, the decision to continue treatment should be made cautiously. It is advisable to avoid wearing soft contact lenses during treatment.
