Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to this drug or its components. Additionally, it should not be used in children under 1 year of age. It is advisable not to use this medication concurrently with other eye drops. If taken orally, its effect may be enhanced when used with central nervous system depressants, antihistamines, or alcohol. Furthermore, using it with oral diet pills may temporarily decrease platelet counts. There may be instances of blurred vision after instilling this medication; therefore, it is safest to avoid driving or operating machinery until vision is clear again. Rarely, drowsiness or sedative effects may occur, so caution is necessary when driving or operating machinery. Individuals undergoing medical treatment or allergy treatment, those with previous drug allergies, those experiencing itching and pain in the eyes, those with symptoms that are not clearly identified as allergies, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication. If there is persistent redness or irritation of the eyes, ongoing itching, eyelid inflammation, no improvement in blurred vision, worsening symptoms, or no improvement after using the medication for more than a week, use should be discontinued immediately and a healthcare professional consulted. Temporary localized irritation such as burning, redness, swelling, or itching may occur when using this medication. The prescribed dosage and method should be strictly followed, and it is to be used only for eye instillation. Care should be taken not to let the tip of the container touch the eyelids or eyelashes, and it should not be used if the solution is contaminated or appears cloudy. It is recommended not to share this medication with others, and if used with other eye drops, there should be at least a 5-minute interval. Accidental ingestion of this medication generally carries low risk of overdose. The preservative benzalkonium chloride may adhere to soft contact lenses; therefore, it should not be used while wearing lenses, and lenses should only be put on after at least 15 minutes post-instillation. This medication should be stored in a sealed container as it may be sensitive to air and moisture. It is important to maintain a temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, avoiding extremes of heat or cold during storage, and it should not be used after 4 weeks post-opening. Keep out of reach of children, and do not transfer this medication from its original container to another one, as this is to prevent misuse or degradation of drug quality.
