Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with allergies to protein-based drugs or to any of the ingredients of this drug. During use, ocular side effects such as eyelid itching, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, congestion, and corneal damage may occur, so if these symptoms arise, use should be stopped immediately. Additionally, rare occurrences of eye discharge or eye pain may also happen, in which case appropriate measures should be taken. Occasionally, inflammation of the eyelid or dermatitis may occur, and if these symptoms are observed, use should be discontinued and treatment sought. Caution is advised as the use of this drug with steroids, dry eye treatments, antimicrobials, glaucoma medications, antihistamines, cataract medications, and anti-inflammatory pain relievers may increase the incidence of side effects. This drug contains phosphates, which may rarely cause corneal calcification in patients with severe corneal damage. Do not use this drug simultaneously with other eye drops; if it is necessary to use them together, use the other eye drops first and then use this drug 30 minutes later. This drug is only for ophthalmic use, and care must be taken to avoid contact between the container tip and eyelids or eyelashes to prevent contamination of the solution. For single-use products, discard 1-2 drops before the first use, and use the remaining solution immediately after opening, discarding any unused portion. Also, to prevent contamination, it is advisable not to share the product with others. Keep out of reach of children, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Finally, to maintain quality, do not transfer this drug to another container.
