Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with allergic reactions to protein-based drugs. Symptoms such as itching, irritation, conjunctivitis, redness, corneal abnormalities, and foreign body sensation may occur. If these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and receive appropriate treatment. Rarely, symptoms like eye discharge or eye pain may occur, so caution is advised. Hypersensitivity reactions such as blepharitis or eyelid dermatitis may occur, so if these symptoms arise, stop using the medication and seek treatment. Adverse reactions may be more prominent when used with other eye drops, so before using this medication, it is recommended to use other eye drops first and then use this medication about 30 minutes later. This medication is an eye drop intended for use in the eyes only, and care should be taken to prevent the tip of the container from touching the eyelids or eyelashes. For single-use products, discard the first 1-2 drops before use and any remaining medication should be discarded immediately after opening. Prevent contamination by ensuring that multiple people do not use it together. Store out of reach of children, avoiding direct sunlight, and keep it in a cool place. Do not transfer the medication to another container, and take care to prevent misuse and maintain the quality of the medication.
