Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
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.
