Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to protein-based components.

This medication is only for use in the eyes; care should be taken to avoid contact of the container tip with the eyelid or eyelashes. For the single-use products, discard the first 1-2 drops before use, and after opening, it should be used immediately, discarding any remaining medication.
