Precautions

This medication should not be used by anyone who has had an allergic reaction to this drug or its components. Additionally, children under 1 year of age should not use this medication. It is advisable not to use this medication concurrently with other eye drops. If taken orally, the effects of central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, or alcohol may be enhanced. There is also a risk of temporary decreased platelet count when taken with oral diet pills. If vision becomes blurred after using this medication, do not drive or operate machinery until vision returns to normal. Drowsiness or sedation may occur, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Individuals receiving medical treatment or allergy treatment, or those with a previous history of drug allergy, should consult a specialist before using this medication. Consultation is also necessary if there is itchiness or pain in the eyes or if it is uncertain whether the symptoms are due to an allergy. Pregnant or nursing women should consult a specialist before using this medication. If redness, irritation, or itching in the eyes persists, or if eyelid inflammation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 1 week of use, stop using and seek consultation. Temporary local irritation symptoms such as burning, redness, swelling, and itching may occur during use. The prescribed dosage and administration must be strictly followed, and it should only be used for eye drop application. Care should be taken to prevent the tip of the container from touching the eyelids or eyelashes, and do not use if the liquid is contaminated or cloudy. Co-administration should be avoided if possible, and if using with other eye drops, a minimum interval of 5 minutes should be observed. If accidentally taken orally, worry about overdose is minimal as the amount is less than the recommended dose. Since the preservatives may adhere to soft contact lenses, do not use while wearing lenses, and wait at least 15 minutes after administration before putting them in. This medication should be stored in a tightly closed container to protect from air and moisture, and it is advisable to keep the storage temperature between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Keep out of reach of children, and the medication should be stored in its original container with the lid tightly closed. Transferring to another container may result in misuse or deterioration of quality.
