Precautions

This medication should not be used by individuals who are allergic to the active ingredient or any of the components. If there is severe pain in the eyes, or if there has been an allergic reaction after using eye drops previously, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider, dentist, or pharmacist before using this medication. Patients who are currently undergoing other treatments should also consult a professional before using this medication. If itching or swelling, pain, changes in vision, persistent redness or irritation occur while using this medication, or if symptoms persist for more than 72 hours, stop using it immediately and consult a professional. Individuals wearing hard contact lenses should stop using this medication if there is an increase in eye discharge or if the lenses become cloudy, and consult a doctor. If this medication is accidentally ingested, seek professional assistance immediately. This medication must be used according to the prescribed method and dosage, and is intended for ophthalmic use only. A single-use container should not be reused, and any remaining liquid and container must be discarded. Care should be taken to avoid contamination or eye damage by preventing the tip of the container from touching the eye or any other object. Do not use if the liquid has changed color or has become cloudy. This medication should not be used while wearing soft contact lenses, and the lenses must be removed before use. After administration, there should be a minimum wait of 15 minutes before re-inserting the lenses. When using other eye drops, an interval of at least 15 minutes should be observed before using this medication. This medication has a high viscosity, and caution should be taken as it may temporarily blur vision upon application. Unused single-use containers should be stored in the original box, in a safe place out of reach of children.
