It is generally not used for patients with corneal epithelial damage or ulcers, tuberculosis or purulent eye diseases, glaucoma, and children under 2 years of age but should be used very cautiously if necessary.

If wearing contact lenses, they should be removed prior to administration and can be worn again at least 30 minutes afterwards.
