Precautions

This medication should not be used by patients allergic to the active ingredient or any of the components. While using, caution should be taken as adverse symptoms such as blurred vision, dry eyes, or corneal damage may occur. This medication contains phosphate, which may rarely pose a risk of corneal calcification in patients with severe corneal damage. Contact lens use should be avoided when experiencing eye redness, and if wearing contact lenses, at least 5 minutes should pass after instillation of this medication before putting them on. The preservative contained in this medication may deposit on contact lenses, so caution is needed. It may temporarily blur vision after instillation; therefore, one should wait until vision returns to normal before driving or operating machinery. Patients receiving steroid treatment should gradually reduce the steroid dosage under medical supervision when using this medication. For patients with seasonal allergies, it is recommended to start using this medication before the peak of allergy symptoms and continue use until symptoms resolve. If no effect is observed, it should not be used long-term, and it should only be used as eye drops, not in any other manner. During pregnancy, the risks and benefits to the fetus should be carefully considered before use, and during lactation, careful consideration should also be given to potential impacts on the baby during administration. The safety and efficacy have not been established for children under 2 years, hence use is not recommended. Elderly patients can use it without special caution. When using, care should be taken to avoid the tip of the container touching the eye, and for multiple-use products, the cap should be tightly closed after use to prevent contamination. Single-use products should be used immediately after opening, and any remaining solution should be discarded; for first-time use, 1-2 drops should be discarded to remove any container fragments. When storing, keep out of reach of children in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and do not transfer to other containers. This medication is considered not to have carcinogenic or genetic mutation potential and is not known to significantly affect reproductive ability.
