Additionally, various hypersensitivity symptoms such as cardiovascular collapse, loss of consciousness, angioedema, airway obstruction, rashes, and itching may occur; if such symptoms arise, medication should be discontinued. When used in the eyes, temporary burning, irritation, redness, itching, tearing, and dryness may occur, and serious side effects such as blurred vision, dizziness, and keratitis can also occur, necessitating an immediate halt of use if symptoms are severe. Hearing impairment or irritation symptoms may also develop, so it is important to consult a doctor if such symptoms arise.
