There is a risk of fungal infection in the eye tissue, so any signs of infection should be immediately discussed with a healthcare professional.

During treatment, it is advised to avoid wearing soft contact lenses and to regularly check intraocular pressure and for signs of infection if used for more than 2-3 days. This medication may hide or worsen eye infections, so any symptoms of infection should be immediately communicated to healthcare professionals.

Children and patients taking specific medications should be carefully monitored due to an increased risk of systemic side effects. This medication may raise blood pressure when used alongside certain antidepressants or antihypertensives, so concomitant use should be avoided. Additionally, combining it with specific antiviral medications could increase the risk of side effects and should be discussed with healthcare personnel. This medication has not been established as safe for children, indicating potential systemic side effects, so caution is warranted.
