WARNINGS: For topical ophthalmic use only. Not for parenteral use. Not for injection. Do not use solution if it contains crystals or if it is cloudy or discolored. Prolonged use results in diminished duration of anesthesia and retarded healing. This may cause the drug to be used more frequently, creating a “vicious circle”. Subsequent corneal infection and/or corneal opacification with accompanying permanent visual loss or corneal perforation may occur. Prolonged use may also produce severe keratitis.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Transient symptoms (signs) such as stinging, burning and conjunctival redness may occur. A rare, severe, immediate type allergic corneal reaction has been reported characterized by acute diffuse epithelial keratitis with filament formation and/or sloughing of large areas of necrotic epithelium, diffuse stromal edema, descemetitis and iritis. To Report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Altaire Pharmaceuticals, Inc., at 631-722-5988 or 1-800-258-2471, 9am - 5pm EST Monday – Friday, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
