Levoreact Ophthalmic is used in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
How to use
Levoreact Ophthalmic is used according to the following doses:
Adults and children: the usual dose is 1 drop in each eye, 2 times a day. The dose can be increased to 1 drop up to 3 or 4 times a day. Treatment should be continued for as long as necessary for the symptoms to disappear.
Shake the bottle well before removing the cap. Each bottle contains approximately 120 drops. Patients should be informed of any precautions to be taken to avoid contamination of the product.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Special warnings
Do not touch the eye with the bottle to avoid contaminating the rest of the product. As with all ophthalmic preparations containing benzalkonium chloride, propylene glycol, and esters, patients should be advised not to wear soft (hydrophilic) contact lenses during treatment because they may cause eye irritation. Remove contact lenses before applying the medicine and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. The medicine discolours soft contact lenses.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Studies in animals have not shown embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. There are limited postmarketing data regarding the use of levocabastine eye drops, suspension in pregnant women; the risk for humans is unknown, therefore Levoreact Ophthalmic should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit to the woman justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Based on determinations of levocabastine concentrations in saliva and breast milk of a breastfeeding woman given a single oral dose of 0.5 mg of levocabastine, it is expected that approximately 0.3% of the total ophthalmologically administered levocabastine dose may be transmitted to the infant. However, due to the limited availability of clinical and experimental data, caution is recommended when administering Levoreact Ophthalmic to breastfeeding women.
