Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who are allergic to protein-based drugs or any component of this medication. During use, symptoms such as eyelid itching, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, congestion, corneal disorders, and foreign body sensation may occur; rarely, discharge or ocular pain may develop. If such symptoms arise, usage should be discontinued immediately and appropriate treatment should be sought. Inflammation of the eyelids or dermatitis may also occur, so if these symptoms appear, usage of the medication should be stopped and treatment should be obtained. Care should be taken as side effects may be more pronounced when used with other eye-related medications. In particular, when combined with corticosteroids, dry eye treatments, antibiotics, glaucoma treatments, antihistamines, cataract treatments, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the incidence of adverse reactions may increase. This medication should not be used simultaneously with other eye drops, and should be administered approximately 30 minutes after using other medications. This product is intended for use in the eyes only, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyelids or eyelashes. For single-use products, 1-2 drops should be discarded upon first opening, and any remaining solution and container must be discarded immediately after a single use. To prevent contamination, it is advised not to share this medication. Store out of reach of children and keep in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Moreover, to prevent misuse and maintain the quality of the medication, do not transfer it into another container.
