Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients allergic to protein-based medications or any component of this drug. Various ocular adverse reactions such as itching, irritation, redness, conjunctivitis, and keratitis may occur; if these symptoms manifest, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. In addition, hypersensitivity reactions such as eyelid inflammation or dermatitis may occur, thus caution is required. If using this medication in conjunction with other ocular medications, adverse reactions may occur more frequently, so other eye drops should be administered with a minimum interval of 30 minutes. This drug should only be used for direct instillation into the eyes, ensuring that the tip of the container does not come in contact with the eyelids or eyelashes. For single-use products, the first 1-2 drops should be discarded, and any remaining medication should be discarded immediately after opening. To prevent contamination of the medication, it is advisable to avoid shared use. Store in a location out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, and in a cool place. Moreover, to maintain quality, do not transfer to another container.
