Precautions

This medication contains sodium hyaluronate as the main ingredient and is used to relieve dryness and irritation of the eyes. However, patients who are allergic to this medication's components or to protein-based drugs should not use it. During use, symptoms such as eyelid itching, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, redness, corneal disorder, and foreign body sensation may occur. Rarely, discharge from the eyes or eye pain may occur, so if these symptoms arise, use should be discontinued immediately, and appropriate measures should be taken. Additionally, allergic reactions such as eyelid inflammation or dermatitis may occur, so caution is advised. This medication should not be used simultaneously with other eye drops; if they must be used together, use the other eye drops first and then this medication after 30 minutes. This medicine is strictly for use in the eye only; care must be taken to avoid contact of the container tip with the eyelids or eyelashes. For single-use products, discard 1-2 drops when first using to avoid contamination or splintering of the container. After opening, any remaining medication should not be reused and must be discarded immediately, and it is advisable not to share it with others. When storing, keep it out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store in a cool place. Additionally, transferring the medication to another container may pose a risk of misuse and degradation of quality, so it must be stored in the original container.
