Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients who have an allergic reaction to the active ingredient or components. Neurological symptoms such as headaches, taste disturbances, and dizziness may very rarely occur when using this medication. Symptoms such as punctate keratitis, keratitis, pain, dryness, swelling, itching, discharge, redness, keratinization, and discomfort in the eyes may occur and caution is needed. Additionally, glare, blurred vision, and eyelid erythema may rarely occur. Dryness of the nose or symptoms of rhinitis may occur, and dryness in the mouth or skin reactions such as contact dermatitis have also been reported infrequently. Fatigue may also be experienced occasionally. Symptoms similar to a cold or pharyngitis may occur in about 10% of patients, and symptoms such as malaise, low back pain, flu-like symptoms, frequent coughing, infections, nausea, and sinusitis have also been reported in some patients. Increased tear production may also occur. This medication contains phosphates, and in patients with severe corneal damage, calcification of the cornea may very rarely occur, so caution is necessary. This medication should not be used to relieve irritation associated with contact lens wear, and if wearing soft contact lenses, they should be put on at least 15 minutes after instillation. Vision may be temporarily blurred after instillation, so it is advisable to wait until vision is clear before driving or operating machinery. There have been no studies on drug interactions with this medication, so any concurrent medications should be discussed with a physician. If pregnant, there is insufficient research on the effects of this medication on the fetus, so it should be used cautiously under medical advice. If breastfeeding, since components of this medication may be excreted in breast milk and potentially affect the infant, it is recommended to consult with a physician prior to use. It can be safely used in children aged 3 years and older, and there are no special precautions needed for the elderly. In case of overdose, appropriate monitoring and management are needed, so the prescribed dosage and frequency should be strictly followed. This medication is for use in the eyes only and should not be used by any other route. Care should be taken to avoid direct contact of the vial opening with the eyes and to maintain cleanliness while using it. When using other eye drops, they should be used at least 5 minutes apart, and for single-use products, they should only be used once after opening. This medication requires proper storage, and it must be kept tightly closed when not in use.
