Precautions

This medication should not be injected directly into the eye or into the eye interior.

This drug should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to it or in infants under 1 year of age. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should exercise caution when using this drug, thoroughly considering the risks to the fetus or infant and the benefits of treatment. During use, unusual symptoms such as inflammation, pain, itching, or redness in the eye may occur, so if these symptoms persist, consult a physician. Prolonged use may lead to other infections, such as fungal infections, so if symptoms worsen, the usage of the drug should be stopped, and alternative treatments should be sought. Contact lens wear should be avoided if bacterial conjunctivitis is present. This medication is for ocular use only, and care should be taken to prevent contamination by avoiding contact with the tip of the container, eye, or fingers. If used with other eye drops, a minimum interval of 5 minutes between applications should be maintained. The safety for children, especially infants under 1 year of age, has not been established, so it is best not to use it in this population. This drug can generally be used safely in the elderly. When storing, keep out of reach of children and avoid direct sunlight, storing it in a cool place.
