Precautions

This medication has not been thoroughly studied in patients with a history of herpetic keratitis, and caution is advised. The effect of increased tear production has not been observed in patients using topical anti-inflammatory drugs or tear plugs. It should not be used in patients with active eye infections or known or suspected hypersensitivity to the drug's components. The most common side effect may be a burning sensation in the eyes, while various abnormal reactions such as conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, eye pain, foreign body sensation, itching, and visual disturbances have been reported. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as eye swelling, severe angioedema, and difficulty breathing may occur, therefore, immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is necessary if abnormal symptoms arise. This medication is for ophthalmic use only, and care must be taken to prevent the tip of the container from coming into direct contact with the eyes. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medication with caution, and especially during pregnancy, it should be administered only after consulting a physician. The safety and effectiveness in children under 16 years have not been established, so caution is required for use. After opening the product, it must be used immediately, and any remaining liquid and the container should be discarded. When wearing contact lenses, they should be removed before administration and can be reinserted 15 minutes later. This medication should be kept out of reach of children, and while there are animal test results indicating potential carcinogenic or genotoxic effects with prolonged use, the effects on humans are unclear.
