Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to quinolone antibiotics. Serious allergic reactions such as nausea, cold sensations in the hands and feet, and shortness of breath may rarely occur during use, and if such symptoms arise, usage should be immediately discontinued and appropriate treatment sought. Hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, itching, swelling of the face or neck, and breathing difficulties may occur, and if these symptoms appear, discontinue medication use. Temporary sensations of warmth or irritation, discomfort, redness, pain, blurred vision, etc. may occur in the eyes, and in rare cases, severe keratitis or dermatologic diseases may develop, necessitating immediate cessation of use if such symptoms occur. Occasionally, ear abnormalities or irritation symptoms may occur. Long-term use of this medication may lead to excessive growth of fungi or resistant bacteria, therefore it should only be used for the necessary duration and in the event of superinfection, a different treatment should be initiated. Particularly in elderly patients or those using corticosteroids concurrently, there is a risk of inflammation or rupture of tendons, so if pain or inflammation occurs, use should be immediately stopped. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits are deemed greater than the risks, and nursing mothers should cease breastfeeding or stop the medication. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in infants under 1 year of age, thus it is advisable not to use it for this age group. This medication is an eye drop specifically for ocular use, so it should not be used for other purposes, and care should be taken to avoid direct contact of the container tip with the eye during instillation. It is also preferable to avoid sharing to prevent contamination. When storing, keep in a place out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, in a cool place.
