This medicine should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to quinolone antibiotics or those who have shown allergic reactions to this medication. Rarely, severe allergic reactions may occur when using this drug, such as nausea, cold hands and feet, or difficulty breathing, so if these symptoms arise, use should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be received. In addition, various hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema, rash, pruritus, and difficulty breathing may occur rarely, so if such symptoms appear, the use of the drug should be stopped. Various eye-related side effects may occur, such as temporary burning sensation or discomfort, redness, itching, tearing, and blurred vision; and, rarely, severe keratitis or serious skin conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome may worsen, so if these symptoms arise, use should be stopped immediately. Hearing impairment or irritation symptoms may also occasionally occur, so caution is required. This drug should only be used for the minimum necessary duration after confirming the sensitivity of the infectious bacteria to prevent the occurrence of resistant bacteria. Long-term use should be avoided as it may lead to excessive proliferation of fungi or resistant bacteria; if secondary infections are suspected, another treatment method should be considered. Especially in the treatment of trachoma, administering for 8 weeks is standard, and after that, the decision to continue administering should be made carefully. During treatment, if the formulation contains benzalkonium chloride, wearing soft contact lenses should be avoided. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this drug when the benefits of treatment are greater than the risks, as its safety has not been established. Lactating women using this drug should either stop breastfeeding or discontinue the medication. This drug is not used in infants under 1 year of age due to unproven safety and efficacy. This eye drop is for ophthalmic use only; care should be taken to avoid direct contact of the container opening with the eye, and it is advisable not to share it with others to prevent contamination.
