This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to any of its components, or by children under 1 year of age. It is advisable not to use this medication concurrently with other eye drops, especially those that depress the central nervous system, antihistamines, or alcohol, as their effects may be enhanced. Caution is advised when taken with oral diet medications, as there is a risk of reducing platelet count. Since this medication may cause blurred vision after application, it is safe to avoid driving or operating machinery until vision clears. Rarely, drowsiness or sedation may occur; if these symptoms manifest, driving or hazardous tasks should also be avoided. Do not use this medication without consulting a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist, especially if currently undergoing treatment or allergy therapy, if there is a history of drug allergies, or if pregnant or breastfeeding, as it is essential to seek professional advice. If redness, irritation, or itching persists in the eyes or if eyelid inflammation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, stop using this medication and consult with a doctor or pharmacist. Temporary burning, redness, swelling, or itching may occur upon using this medication, so caution is required if these symptoms arise. The prescribed dosage and frequency must be strictly followed, and this medication is for ocular use only. Be careful not to let the tip of the container touch the eyelids or eyelashes, and do not use if the solution appears contaminated or cloudy. Avoid sharing this medication as it may increase the risk of contamination. When using with other eye drops, a minimum interval of more than 5 minutes should be maintained between applications. If this medication is accidentally swallowed, the amount is much less than the usual oral dosage, so there is little concern for overdose. The preservatives contained in this medication may adhere to soft contact lenses, so it should not be used while wearing lenses; wear lenses only after at least 15 minutes post-application. This medication should be stored between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius and used within 4 weeks after opening. Store out of reach of children in the original container with the lid tightly closed. Transferring to another container may reduce the quality of the medication or risk misuse, so caution is advised.
