This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to quinolone antibiotics. While using this medication, severe allergic reactions such as nausea, cold sensation in the limbs, and difficulty breathing may rarely occur. If such symptoms occur, usage should be immediately discontinued, and appropriate treatment should be sought. Additionally, hypersensitivity symptoms such as angioedema or skin rash, itching, and difficulty breathing may appear; if such symptoms arise, the drug should be discontinued. Temporary discomfort such as burning sensation, irritation, redness, itching, photophobia, and blurred vision may occur; if severe symptoms develop, such as keratitis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome, immediate discontinuation is necessary. This medication may also cause auditory disturbances or other irritation symptoms. To prevent resistant bacteria from developing, this medication should only be used for the necessary minimum duration based on sensitivity testing. Long-term use can lead to excessive proliferation of non-sensitive strains such as fungi, so long-term usage should be avoided, and if infections recur, another treatment method should be considered. Particularly during trachoma treatment, using it for 8 weeks is recommended, and care should be taken when continuing afterwards. During treatment, contact lenses should be avoided.
