Care should also be taken when used with oral diet pills as it may temporarily reduce platelet count. This medicine may cause blurred vision after application, so it is safer to avoid driving or operating machinery until vision returns to normal.

To prevent infection, it is advisable to avoid sharing with others, and when used with other eye drops, a minimum interval of 5 minutes should be maintained. If this medicine is accidentally ingested orally, the quantity is likely less than the recommended dose, so there is less concern for overdose.
