Indications

Uses and Dosage
Unless directed otherwise by your doctor, refrain from wearing contact lenses while using this medicine. Ensure to sterilize your contact lenses according to the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with your doctor before using them again.
If approved by your doctor to wear contact lenses during treatment with this medication, remove the lenses prior to using the eye drops. The preservative contained in this product may be absorbed by contact lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after each dose of the eye drop before wearing the lenses again.
Before applying the eye drops, ensure to wash your hands thoroughly. Shake the bottle well before use and do not touch the dropper tip or allow it to come into contact with your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.
Tilt your head back, look upwards, and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downwards and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure to prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye. Repeat the process for the other eye if directed to do so and if the dose is more than one drop.
If you are using other eye medication, wait for at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying them. Use eye drops before eye ointments to enable the drops to enter the eye.
To derive the most benefit from this medication, use it regularly at the same time(s) each day. The dosage and length of treatment are determined based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
