• Hyperthyroidism: Use with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism.
• Infection/injury: Use with caution in patients with ophthalmic infection or injury.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Benzalkonium chloride: May contain benzalkonium chloride which may be absorbed by soft contact lenses.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Accidental ingestion: Accidental ingestion by children of nonprescription (OTC) imidazoline-derivative eye drops and nasal sprays may result in serious harm. Serious adverse reactions (eg, coma, bradycardia, respiratory depression, sedation) requiring hospitalization have been reported in children ≤5 years of age who had ingested even small amounts (eg, 1 to 2 mL). Contact a poison control center and seek emergency medical care immediately for accidental ingestion (FDA Drug Safety Communication, 2012).
• Self-medication (OTC use): For topical ophthalmic use only. Do not touch tip of container to any surface, the eyelids, or the surrounding area. Discontinue use and notify health care provider if symptoms worsen or persist >72 hours or if symptoms of systemic absorption occur (ie, dizziness, headache, nausea, decrease in body temperature, drowsiness). Overuse may produce increased redness of the eye; pupils may become enlarged temporarily. Discontinue use and contact health care provider if eye pain or changes in vision occur.

For topical ophthalmic use only. Remove contact lenses prior to administration. Do not touch tip of container to any surface, the eyelids, or the surrounding area. Do not use if solution changes color or becomes cloudy.
For ophthalmic use only: Instill drop(s) into conjunctival sac of affected eye(s); finger pressure should be applied to lacrimal sac during and for 1 to 2 minutes after instillation to decrease risk of absorption and systemic reactions; avoid contact of bottle tip with skin or eye
Decrease in eye redness (vasoconstrictor):
Relief of redness of the eye due to minor irritation; temporary relief of burning and irritation due to dry eyes; as a protectant against further irritation or dryness of the eye.
Accidental ingestion: Serious adverse reactions (eg, coma, bradycardia, respiratory depression, sedation) requiring hospitalization have been reported in children ≤5 years of age who have accidentally ingested even small amounts (eg, 1-2 mL) of imidazoline-derivative (ie, tetrahydrozoline, oxymetazoline, or naphazoline) eye drops or nasal sprays. Store these products out of reach of children at all times. Contact poison control or seek medical attention if accidental ingestion occurs.
