Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Can I wear contact lenses while using this medicine?
No, you should not wear contact lenses when applying this composition because it contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that changes colour in contact lenses since it may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Benzalkonium chloride also irritates the eye, particularly if you have corneal disorders (the transparent layer on the front of the eye) or dry eyes. Thus, you are recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses while using this eye drop and putting them in again after 15 minutes of using it. In addition, notify your physician if you have any eye pain or stinging or unusual sensations in the eye following use.
Do I need to discontinue use of this eye drop before surgery?
Yes, you might need to discontinue it before surgery since it can change the action of some medications that are administered under anaesthesia. Hence, you are advised to let your doctor or dentist know that you are on this medicine before any surgery or dental treatment.
Does it cause blurred vision?
Yes, this decrease can result in temporary blurred vision, double vision or sagging of the upper lid (the eye is half open). Hence, you are advised to drive or use machinery only when your vision is good.
What should I take more than the recommended dose?
You should not take more than the prescribed dose since it can lead to side effects like dizziness, light-headedness, headache, chest pain, shortness of breath or slow heart rate.
