Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to quinolone antibiotics. Rarely, shock symptoms such as nausea, limb coldness, and difficulty breathing may occur; therefore, if any of these abnormal symptoms appear, use should be immediately discontinued, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Hypersensitivity reactions may lead to cardiovascular collapse, loss of consciousness, vascular swelling, airway obstruction, rashes, itching, etc., so medication should be stopped if these symptoms occur. There may be temporary irritation or discomfort in the eyes; rarely, serious eye conditions such as keratitis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome may occur, so usage should be immediately discontinued if any abnormalities in the eyes are felt. Hearing impairment or irritation symptoms may occasionally appear, so it is advisable to consult healthcare professionals if such symptoms occur. To prevent the occurrence of resistant bacteria, susceptibility testing should be conducted, and it should be used for a minimal duration; prolonged use may lead to excessive growth of fungi or non-sensitive bacteria, so long-term use should be avoided. For the treatment of trachoma, the standard treatment duration is 8 weeks; caution should be exercised for use beyond this period. During treatment, it is advised to avoid wearing soft contact lenses, especially when using formulations that contain benzalkonium chloride. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication when its benefits outweigh the risks, and consider cessation of nursing while using the drug. Safety and effectiveness have not been established in infants under one year of age, so its use is not recommended. This medication is for ophthalmic use only and should be used with care to ensure the opening of the container does not come into direct contact with the eye.
