Precautions
Your eye doctor will check your eyes at regular visits to make sure it is working properly and is not causing unwanted effects.
If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they become worse, check with your eye doctor.
Slow or delayed healing may occur while you are using this medicine. Ask your eye doctor before using this medicine together with a topical corticosteroid (e.g., betamethasone, hydrocortisone).
Using this medicine may increase risk of having eye or vision problems (e.g., keratitis or other corneal problems). Stop using this medicine and check with your eye doctor right away if you have blurred vision, changes in vision, or eye redness, irritation, or pain while using this medicine.
Make sure your eye doctor knows if you are pregnant. Do not use this medicine during the later part of a pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to.
While applying the medicine, your eyes will probably sting or burn for a short time. This is to be expected.
Do not use other medicines unless they have been discussed with your eye doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
