Precautions

This drug should not be used by people who are allergic to the active ingredient or other components. If there is severe pain in the eyes or if there have been allergic reactions after using eye drops in the past, one must consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medication. It is important to consult a professional before using this medication if there is an existing condition being treated. If itching, swelling, pain, changes in vision, persistent redness or irritation occur, or if symptoms worsen, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. If wearing hard contact lenses and experiencing increased eye discharge or blurred lenses, stop using this medication and consult a professional. If this drug is accidentally ingested, seek professional help immediately. This medication should be used exactly according to the prescribed dosage and directions, and is for ophthalmic use only. As it is a single-use product, do not reuse after the first application, and dispose of any remaining liquid and container properly. Take care not to let the tip of the container touch the eye or other objects to prevent contamination and injury. Do not use if the color of the liquid has changed or it has become cloudy. This medication should not be used while wearing soft contact lenses; lenses must be removed before application. Lenses can be reinserted at least 15 minutes after application. When using other eye drops, at least a 15-minute interval should be observed. This medication has a high viscosity, which may cause temporary blurring of vision when applied, so caution is advised. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and unused single-use containers should preferably be stored in their original box.
