While using this medication, central nervous system adverse reactions such as headaches, taste disturbances, and dizziness may occur. Ocular-related symptoms, such as keratitis, eye pain, dryness, itching, and redness of the eyes, may occur occasionally, and rarely photophobia or blurred vision may also appear. Dryness of the nasal passages or rhinitis symptoms may occur rarely, and symptoms such as dry mouth or dermatitis have been reported. Fatigue may be experienced after using this medication. Additionally, symptoms similar to cold or pharyngitis may appear in about 10% of patients, and fatigue, lumbar pain, and nausea have been reported in some patients. This medicine contains phosphate and may rarely cause calcification of the cornea in cases of severe corneal damage. This medication should not be used in cases of irritation related to wearing contact lenses, and temporary blurring of vision may occur after instillation, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. During pregnancy, animal studies have shown a possibility of affecting the fetus, so it should be used carefully under medical supervision. During breastfeeding, the drug may be excreted in breast milk, so benefits and risks should be carefully considered before use. It can also be used in children over 3 years of age and the elderly, but caution is needed during use. In case of overdose, patients should be closely monitored and receive appropriate treatment. This medicine should be administered directly into the eyes and care should be taken to avoid having the opening of the container come into contact with the eye area. When using with other eye drops, they should be administered at least 5 minutes apart, and it is safest to use it only once after opening. This medicine is known to have a low risk of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity, but careful use is necessary during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
