If side effects are severe or persist, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions:

  • Follow Instructions: Use the ointment exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid using more than the recommended amount.
  • Avoid Contamination: Ensure the applicator tip does not come into contact with the eye or any surfaces to prevent contamination.
  • Consult Before Use: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of eye infections, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have other health conditions.
  • Short-Term Use: Corticosteroids should generally be used for the shortest duration necessary to avoid potential side effects associated with prolonged use.
