Precautions

This medication has not been studied in patients with a history of herpetic keratitis, so its safety has not been established. Its effectiveness has not been observed in patients using punctal plugs or topical anti-inflammatory medications due to insufficient tear production. Patients with active eye infections or those allergic to or suspecting an allergy to any component of this medication should not use it. Patients with allergies or hypersensitivity to propylene glycol should use it with caution. Side effects such as burning in the eyes, conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, eye pain, foreign body sensation, itching, and visual disturbances may occur, so caution is advised. Care should be taken to prevent the container from coming into contact with the eyes, and to avoid any injury to the eyes. Temporary blurring of vision may occur after instillation, so driving or operating dangerous machinery should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only use this medication with caution in necessary cases, as its safety has not been fully established. Its safety and efficacy have not been established in children under 16 years, and its use is not recommended. After opening, the product should be used only once, and any remaining medication should be discarded, ensuring that the tip of the container does not come into contact with the eyes or other surfaces. If wearing contact lenses, they should be removed before use, and they can be reinserted after 15 minutes. Keep out of reach of children, and dispose of expired medication. This medication showed tendencies for some cancers at high doses in systemic carcinogenicity studies, but there is a significant difference compared to the local dosage of this medication. The risk of mutagenicity or genotoxicity has been reported to be low, but caution is necessary as the effects on the fetus during pregnancy have not been fully clarified.
