Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to this medication or its ingredients. Particularly, children under 1 year of age should not use this medication. It is recommended not to use other eye drops during the use of this medication. When taken orally, it may enhance the effects of drugs that suppress the central nervous system, antihistamines, and alcohol. Additionally, using it alongside oral diet pills may temporarily decrease platelet count, necessitating caution. Since vision may become blurry after instillation, avoid driving or operating machinery until vision returns to normal. Drowsiness or sedation may occur rarely, so caution is needed during such activities. Individuals undergoing medical treatment or allergy treatment, those with a history of drug allergies, those experiencing pain and itching in the eyes, and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication. If redness, irritation, or itching of the eyes persists or if eyelid inflammation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. It is also essential to stop usage and seek consultation if symptoms do not improve or worsen. Transient stinging or local irritation, such as redness, swelling, or itching, may occur, so caution should be exercised. This medication must be used according to the prescribed method and dosage and should only be used for instillation. Care should be taken to avoid contaminating the solution by ensuring that the tip of the container does not touch the eyelids or eyelashes. Do not use solutions that are contaminated or discolored. It is advisable not to share this medication, and when using with other eye drops, a minimum interval of 5 minutes should be maintained. If this medication is accidentally ingested orally, the risk of overdose is generally low. The preservative components in this medication may adhere to contact lenses, so it should not be used while wearing lenses, and lenses should not be worn until at least 15 minutes after use. This medication should be stored in a tightly sealed container to protect it from air and moisture. To store safely, it is best to keep it at room temperature between 15 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius.
