Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients who are allergic to protein-based medications or any component of this drug. If symptoms such as itching, irritation, hyperemia, conjunctivitis, or corneal damage occur, the use should be discontinued and a physician consulted. Rarely, discharge or eye pain may occur, and inflammation or dermatitis of the eyelids may develop, requiring caution. When used together with other eye drops like steroids, dry eye treatments, antibiotics, glaucoma medications, and antihistamines, side effects may occur more frequently, so a physician should be consulted. This drug contains phosphate, and there have been very rare reports of corneal calcification in patients with severe corneal damage, so it should be used cautiously. Do not use this drug simultaneously with other eye drops; if they must be used together, maintain an interval of at least 30 minutes between the two. This drug is for ocular use only; care should be taken to avoid contact between the tip of the container and the eye or eyelashes to prevent contamination of the solution. For single-use products, discard the first 1 to 2 drops before using, and any remaining solution after opening should be discarded immediately. Prevent contamination by not allowing multiple people to use the same product. Store out of reach of children, away from direct sunlight, and in a cool place. It is important to not transfer to another container to maintain quality.
