Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions to protein-based medications. Symptoms such as itching, irritation, redness, conjunctivitis, and corneal damage may occur rarely, and if such symptoms arise, use should be discontinued and a physician consulted. Additionally, hypersensitivity reactions such as blepharitis or dermatitis may occur, and if such symptoms manifest, administration should be stopped immediately, and appropriate measures should be taken. When used in conjunction with other eye drops like steroids, dry eye treatments, antibiotics, and glaucoma medications, there may be an increased occurrence of adverse reactions, so caution is advised. This medication should not be used simultaneously with other eye drops; if it is necessary, administer this medication 30 minutes after the other eye drop. This medication is for use in the eye only, and care should be taken to avoid contact between the tip of the container and the eyelid or eyelashes. If the container is contaminated, the medication may deteriorate, so cloudy or contaminated medications should not be used. The preservative ingredients can adhere to soft lenses, so do not use while wearing lenses, and wait at least 15 minutes after application before inserting the lenses. It is beneficial to avoid sharing this medication to prevent infections. When storing, keep it out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store it in a cool place. Also, transferring the medication to another container can lead to misuse or degradation of quality, so it must be stored in the original container.
