Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to the active ingredient or any of the components. If experiencing severe pain in the eyes, have previously had allergic reactions to eye drops, or are currently undergoing treatment by a doctor, consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary before use. If itching, swelling, pain, visual changes, persistent redness, or worsening symptoms occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Caution is needed if wearing hard contact lenses, as increased eye discharge or cloudy lenses may rarely occur. If this medication is ingested accidentally, seek professional help immediately. The prescribed dosage and administration must be strictly followed, and this medication is intended for use only as eye drops. Single-use containers should not be reused after one use, and any remaining liquid and the container must be disposed of properly. Take care not to touch the tip of the container to the eyes or any other objects to prevent contamination and eye damage. Do not use if the liquid changes color or becomes cloudy. Do not use this medication while wearing soft contact lenses; remove the lenses prior to use and wait at least 15 minutes after instillation before reinserting them. If other eye drops are to be used, they should be instilled at least 15 minutes apart. This medication is highly viscous and may cause temporary blurriness upon instillation, so caution is advised. Unused single-dose containers should be stored in their original box and kept out of reach of children.
