Recommended dose:
Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age: 1 drop in each eye twice daily (every 12 hours). If symptom relief does not last for 12 hours, the number of applications may be increased up to 3 or 4 times a day (every 6 or 8 hours) as needed.

With freshly washed hands, open the container, taking care that the cap and dropper do not touch anything.
Tilt your head backwards, pull down the lower eyelid, and gently press the bottle to instill 1 drop into the conjunctival sac while looking upwards. Blink several times to spread the drop throughout the eye.
Eye drop administration must be performed with maximum care, avoiding contact with the dropper tip (e.g. eyelids, fingers, etc.) as much as possible.

Since this is a sterile medicine, the following instructions are recommended:
