Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals allergic to the active ingredient or any of the components. Those experiencing severe eye pain, prior allergic reactions to eye drops, or currently receiving treatment from a healthcare professional should consult an expert before use. If symptoms such as itching, swelling, pain, or changes in vision occur during use, or if symptoms persist for more than 72 hours, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Those wearing hard contact lenses should discontinue use and seek advice if there is increased discharge or blurriness of the lenses. If this medication is accidentally ingested, seek immediate professional assistance. This medication must be used according to the prescribed method and dosage and is for ophthalmic use only. Once a single-use vial has been used, it should not be reused, and any remaining solution and vial must be disposed of properly. Care should be taken to prevent the tip of the container from coming into contact with the eye or other surfaces to avoid contamination and eye injury. Do not use if the solution is discolored or cloudy. Soft contact lenses should not be worn when using this medication, and they should be removed before instillation and can be reinserted 15 minutes after application. If using with other eye drops, instill with at least a 15-minute interval. This medication may cause temporary blurriness due to its high viscosity. The medication should be kept out of the reach of children, and unused single-use vials should ideally be stored in their original box.
