Patients receiving systemic treatment with quinolone-based medications containing the same ingredients as this medication may experience severe and sometimes fatal allergic reactions, so if any allergic symptoms occur, treatment should be stopped immediately, and prompt emergency care should be obtained. This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or other quinolone-based drugs, or in infants under the age of 1.

During use, atypical symptoms such as eye congestion, pain, itching, or decreased vision may occur, and if these symptoms are severe or persistent, consultation with a healthcare professional is advised. This medication should only be used for the necessary duration after susceptibility testing to prevent the occurrence of resistant bacteria, and caution is also required as long-term use may lead to fungal infections. When experiencing symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis, contact lenses should be avoided, and if used with other eye drops, instillation should be spaced at least 5 minutes apart. Care should be taken to avoid contaminating the tip of the container, avoid sharing, and only use for instillation purposes.
