Precautions

This medicine is an eye drop used to alleviate allergy symptoms. Do not use this medicine if you have an allergy to this medicine or its ingredients, or if you are under 1 year of age. It is advisable not to take this medicine together with central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, or alcohol. Additionally, caution should be taken when using this medicine with oral diet pills as it may reduce platelet counts. After instilling this medicine into the eyes, vision may be blurred, so you should avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision returns to normal. Occasionally, drowsiness or sedation may occur, so be cautious if these symptoms appear. Those receiving medical treatment or allergy treatment, those with a previous history of drug allergies, those with eye itching or pain, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional. If your eyes become red, irritation persists, or eyelid inflammation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. It is also important to stop using the medicine and consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve or worsen. Using this medicine may temporarily cause sensations of burning or stinging, redness, swelling, and itching in the eyes. Be sure to follow the prescribed usage and dosage, and this medicine should be used only for eye instillation. Take care not to let the tip of the container touch your eyelids or eyelashes to avoid contamination, and cloudy solutions should not be used. Avoid sharing to prevent contamination, and if using other eye drops, maintain a minimum interval of 5 minutes between uses. If this medicine is accidentally swallowed, there is less concern for overdose as it is less than the usual oral dosage. The preservative in this medicine may adsorb to soft contact lenses, so do not use it while wearing lenses, and wait at least 15 minutes after use to wear lenses. Store this medicine at a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, and do not use it after 4 weeks once opened.
