It should also not be used in cases of fungal infections or mycobacterial infections, such as ocular tuberculosis. Patients with untreated purulent infections should also avoid this medication. Patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication should not use it, and those with corneal epithelium damage or ulcers should avoid it due to the risk of corneal perforation.

When using this medication, side effects such as allergic reactions, headache, increased eye pressure, cataracts, eye infection or irritation, blurred vision, and pain may occur. Using this medication on congested eyes without a physician's diagnosis may risk vision loss, so it should be strictly used under a specialist's guidance. With prolonged use, eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts can develop, so regular eye pressure and lens checks are necessary. If blurred vision or visual disturbances occur while using this medication, consult a doctor immediately. Patients with a history of herpes simplex should have regular checks to ensure corneal conditions do not worsen while using this medication. If wearing contact lenses, remove them before applying the medication and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. If inflammation or pain persists or worsens after 48 hours, cease use and consult a physician. There may be temporary blurred vision after instillation, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery.

Children and elderly patients require special caution as their physiological functions are weaker, increasing the risk of side effects.
