Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients who are allergic to the active ingredient or any component. While using, neurological symptoms such as headache, altered taste, dizziness, or ocular-related side effects such as eye pain, dryness, itching, and redness may occur. Additionally, symptoms such as dry nose, rhinitis, dry mouth, dermatitis, and fatigue have been reported rarely. This drug is a non-sedating antihistamine, and vision may be temporarily blurred after use; therefore, one should wait until vision is clear before driving or operating machinery. If no effectiveness is observed after long-term use, discontinuation is recommended. This medication contains ingredients that can discolor contact lenses, so wearers should put on lenses at least 15 minutes after instillation and avoid wearing lenses if the eyes are red. Pregnant or nursing women should follow doctor's instructions when using this medication, especially during breastfeeding, considering its effects on the baby. The safety of use in children under 3 years old has not been established. In case of overdose, appropriate monitoring and treatment are required. This medication is an eye drop intended for ocular use only, and should not be administered by any other route; care should be taken not to let the tip of the container touch the eye directly. When using with other eye drops, a minimum of 5 minutes interval should be maintained, and any remaining solution should be discarded immediately after opening. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children, and do not transfer to other containers.
