This medication should not be used in patients with viral eye diseases, tuberculosis, fungal infections, those allergic to this medication, or in children and nursing mothers. During use, local side effects such as eyelid itching, swelling, and conjunctival hyperemia may occur, and serious side effects such as optic nerve damage, glaucoma, cataract, corneal perforation, and delayed wound healing can also occur. When used with other aminoglycoside antibiotics, blood concentration must be closely monitored, and usage should be discontinued immediately if side effects appear. Care is needed when a steroid component is present in cases of acute eye infections, as it may mask or worsen the infection. Long-term use may result in fungal infections of the cornea or secondary bacterial infections, so continuous monitoring is required. Caution should be taken as overuse may lead to keratitis, erythema, edema, eyelid itching, and increased tears. Vision impairment such as blurriness has been reported, so if such symptoms appear, consultation with an ophthalmologist is necessary. Long-term use may increase fungi or resistant pathogens, and cross-reactivity may occur with other aminoglycoside medications. Particular caution is required in patients infected with varicella or measles, and history and vaccination status should be thoroughly checked to minimize infection risks. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must carefully consider the benefits and risks before using this medication.
