During usage, it is advisable not to use with other eye drops, and if taken orally, the effects may be intensified when combined with central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, or alcohol. Additionally, caution is required when used with oral diet pills, as they may temporarily lower platelet counts. After using this medicine, you may experience blurred vision; therefore, it is safe to refrain from driving or operating machinery until your vision returns to normal. Drowsiness or sedation may occasionally occur, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery. You may need to consult with a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist before using this medicine. Especially, individuals currently receiving treatment or undergoing allergy treatment, those who have had allergic symptoms due to medication, individuals experiencing itching or pain in the eyes, or those who are pregnant or nursing must consult with a specialist. If during use, eye congestion, irritation, or itching persists, or if eyelid inflammation develops, the use of the medicine should be suspended immediately, and you should consult with a specialist. If symptoms worsen or do not improve within a week, you must consult with a doctor. This drug may occasionally cause transient burning, congestion, swelling, itching, or other local irritations. The prescribed dosage and administration should be strictly followed, and it should be used only for eye drops. Care should be taken to prevent the tip of the container from coming into contact with the eyelid or eyelashes to avoid contamination of the solution, and contaminated or cloudy solutions should not be used. It is advisable not to share this medicine, and if other eye drops are used, there should be a timing difference of at least 5 minutes between administrations. If this medicine is accidentally ingested orally, the risk of overdose is minimal. The preservative components in this medicine may adhere to soft contact lenses; therefore, it should not be used while wearing lenses, and lenses should be worn at least 15 minutes after use.
