    Warnings and Precautions


    Tetrahydrozoline should be used only in minor eye irritation. It relief is not obtained within 48 hours,
    or irritation persists or increases, discontinue use. Infection, pus, the presence of a foreign body in the
    eye and any mechanical, chemical, heat or other injury to the eye requires the immediate attention of
    the physician.

    As the possibility of adverse effects on the corneal permeability and the danger of disruption of the
    corneal epithelium with prolonged or repeated usage of benzalkonium chloride preserved
    ophthalmological preparations cannot be excluded, regular ophthalmological examination is required.
    Caution should be exercised in the use of benzalkonium chloride preserved topical medication over an
    extended period in patients with extensive ocular surface disease.

    Do not let the applicator tip touch the eye or any other surface, since this may contaminate the eye
    drops. Tetrahydrozoline must be used with caution in patients with hypertension and
    hyperthyroidism.
