Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who have an allergic reaction to the active ingredient or any of the components. If there is severe pain in the eyes, if there has been a history of allergic reactions after using eye drops, or if the patient is currently receiving medical treatment, they should consult a healthcare professional before using this medication. If itching, swelling, pain, changes in vision, or persistent redness or irritation occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. Those wearing hard contact lenses should consult a professional if there is increased discharge or if the lens becomes cloudy. If this medication is accidentally ingested, seek professional help immediately. This medication must be used according to the prescribed dosage and administration, and is for ophthalmic use only. Do not reuse any opened vial; dispose of any remaining solution and the vial. Care should be taken to avoid contamination; do not let the tip of the container contact the eye or external surfaces. Do not use the medication if it has changed color or has become cloudy. Do not use this medication while wearing soft contact lenses; they must be removed before application and can only be reinserted 15 minutes after instillation. When using other eye drops, administer them at least 15 minutes apart. This medication is viscous; it may cause temporary blurriness of vision when instilled, so caution is advised. Unused single-dose vials should be stored in their original box, out of reach of children.
