Eye-related side effects such as keratitis, eye pain, dryness, itching, and redness of the eyes may occur rarely, so caution is needed. Other reported symptoms include dry nose, rhinitis, dry mouth, dermatitis, and fatigue. Symptoms similar to a cold or pharyngitis may occur in about 10% of patients, so caution is advised. This medication can cause irritation when wearing contact lenses, so it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes after instillation before putting in lenses. Vision may temporarily blur after instillation, so patients should wait until their vision clears before driving or operating machinery.

In case of overdose, immediate consultation with healthcare professionals is necessary for appropriate monitoring and treatment. This medication is for ophthalmic use only and care should be taken to avoid direct contact of the tip with the eye or hand, and the cap should be tightly closed after use. When using other eye drops, a minimum interval of 5 minutes should be observed, and eye ointments should be applied last.
