Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Also, it is recommended that children under the age of 1 do not use this medication. It is advisable not to use other eye drops while using this medication. If taken orally, the effects of central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, and alcohol may be enhanced. Caution is advised when taken with oral diet pills as it may temporarily reduce platelet count. Vision may become blurred after instilling this medication, so driving or operating machinery should be avoided until vision returns to normal. Additionally, drowsiness or sedation may occur rarely, thus caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Consult a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist if necessary, especially if you are being treated for other conditions, receiving allergy treatments, or have a history of drug allergies. If there is eye irritation or pain, or it is unclear if it is an allergy symptom, consultation is important, especially if pregnant or nursing. If eye redness, irritation, or itching persists or if eyelid inflammation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. Also, if vision blurriness does not improve, symptoms worsen, or if symptoms last longer than a week, stop use and consult a physician. This medication may cause temporary irritation symptoms like burning, redness, swelling, and itching in the eyes. It is important to adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage and use it only for eye instillation. Take care not to let the tip of the container touch the eyelid or eyelashes. If the solution is contaminated or cloudy, it should not be used. To prevent contamination, it is best not to share this medication with others. When using with other eye drops, allow at least a 5-minute gap between instillations. If this medication is accidentally swallowed, the risk of overdose is low. The preservatives in this medication may adhere to contact lenses, so it should not be used while wearing soft lenses, and lenses should be put on at least 15 minutes after application. Store between 15°C to 25°C in a sealed container to avoid exposure to air, which helps maintain the medication's effectiveness over time. Keep out of reach of children, and it is safer not to transfer the medication from its original container to another one.
