Infections, pus, foreign bodies in the eye, mechanical, chemical or heat damage require medical intervention.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children as accidental ingestion can cause CNS depression (marked sedation or hypotonia).
Since the product, in the 10 ml bottle, contains benzalkonium chloride, soft contact lenses should not be worn during treatment.
Since benzalkonium chloride is not present in the single-dose package, it can be used by contact lens wearers or by those who are hypersensitive to benzalkonium chloride.
