<ul>
<li>For topical ocular use only. Not for injection or oral use.</li>
<li>To avoid contamination, the dropper tip should not touch any surface. The dropper tip should also not come into contact with the eye as this may cause injury to the eye. When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids for 2 minutes, the systemic absorption is reduced. This may result in a decrease in systemic side effects and an increase in local activity.</li>
<li>The bottle should be kept tightly closed when not in use.</li>
<li>If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicinal products must be administered at least 5 minutes apart. Eye ointments should be administered last.</li>
<li>Patients should be advised not to wear a contact lens if their eye is red.</li>
