Show 2 more warnings
- These eye drops can make your eyes sensitive to light for a short time and affect your ability to drive or do tasks that need good focus.
- This medicine contains benzalkonium chloride, which can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and change their color. Take out your contact lenses before using the drops and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in. Benzalkonium chloride may irritate your eyes, especially if you have dry eyes or problems with your cornea (the clear front part of your eye).
