Precautions

This medicine should not be used by anyone who has had an allergic reaction to the active ingredient or any other component. Patients with severe eye pain, or those who have previously experienced allergic symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling due to eye drops must consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. It is also important for patients undergoing treatment to consult a specialist before using this medicine. If itching, swelling, pain, changes in vision, persistent redness, or irritation occurs during use, or if symptoms persist for more than 72 hours, stop using immediately and consult a specialist. Individuals wearing hard contact lenses should stop using this medication if there is increased discharge or blurred vision and should consult a specialist. In case of accidental ingestion of this medication, seek help from a specialist immediately. It is essential to use this medication according to the prescribed dosage and method, and it is meant exclusively for eye use as an eye drop. Single-use containers should not be reused after one use, and any remaining liquid and the container must be disposed of properly. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the tip of the container with the eye or any other object, and it should not be used if the liquid changes color or becomes cloudy. This medication should not be used while wearing soft contact lenses; the lenses should be removed prior to instillation and can be reinserted 15 minutes later. When using other eye drops concurrently, allow at least a 15-minute interval. This medication has a high viscosity and may temporarily blur vision upon instillation, so caution is advised. Keep out of reach of children, and it is advisable to store unused single-use units in their original box.
