doctor or healthcare specialist if you are not sure.

Adults (including the elderly) and children over six years:
• Place one or two drops into each eye four times daily.

Like all medicines, these drops can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. All medicines can cause allergic reactions, although serious allergic reactions are very rare.

Tell your doctor straight away if you get any sudden wheeziness, difficulty in breathing, swelling of the eyelids, face or lips, rash, or itching (especially affecting your whole body).

Your eyes may sting a little just after you use the drops. If they sting badly, or if your eyes get worse, stop using the drops and tell your doctor or pharmacist. You may also experience blurred vision for a short time after application.

If any of the side effects get serious please tell your doctor or pharmacist.
