If these symptoms occur, use should be stopped immediately and appropriate measures should be taken. Additionally, allergic reactions such as eyelid inflammation or dermatitis may occur, so if such symptoms arise, the use of the medication should be ceased and treatment sought. Caution is needed when used in conjunction with steroids, dry eye treatments, antimicrobials, glaucoma medications, antihistamines, cataract medications, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics as adverse reactions may occur more frequently.

When using with other eye drops, they should be administered with a 30-minute interval, and simultaneous use should be avoided. This product is an eye drop product for ocular use only, and care should be taken that the tip of the container does not come into contact with the eyelids or eyelashes to prevent contamination of the solution. For single-use products, the first 1-2 drops should be discarded before use, and after opening, it should be used immediately once, and any remaining solution and container should be discarded. To prevent contamination, it is best not to share the product with multiple people. When storing, keep it out of reach of children, avoid direct sunlight, and store it in a cool place.
