Side Effects
Pregnancy category C. There is no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Pregnancy And Lactation
The possibility of persistent fungal infections of the cornea should be considered after prolonged corticosteroid dosing. There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple dose containers of topical ophthalmic products. These containers had been inadvertently contaminated by patients who, in most cases, had a concurrent corneal disease or a disruption of the ocular epithelial surface.
Therapeutic
Long-term intensive topical use may lead to systemic effects. Oral ingestion of the contents of the bottle (up to 10 ml) is unlikely to lead to any serious adverse effects.
Storage Conditions
Store below 30° C in a cool and dry place protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. Do not touch the dropper tip to surfaces since this may contaminate the solution. Do not use after 30 days of first opening.
