  • In case of infection or when there is a risk of infection, your doctor may prescribe Diclofenac-lepori eye drops in solution together with another suitable treatment (e.g., antibiotics). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can mask an acute infectious process.
  • If you have any problems stopping bleeding or are taking any medication that may prolong bleeding time, inform your doctor before using Diclofenac-lepori eye drops in solution (see section "Other medicines and Diclofenac-lepori eye drops in solution").
  • If you are using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac, or corticosteroids in the form of eye drops, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Do not exceed the recommended dose in the posology, as more frequent application than recommended may cause complications in the cornea.

If you are using soft contact lenses, it is advisable to instill the eye drops in the container only when they are not being worn (see section "Diclofenac-lepori eye drops in solution contain benzalkonium chloride").

Children

Oral formulations (e.g., tablets) of Diclofenac-lepori eye drops may cause adverse reactions in the fetus. It is not known if this same risk applies to Diclofenac-lepori eye drops when used for the eyes.

Diclofenac-lepori eye drops in solution contain benzalkonium chloride and boron

This medicine contains 10 mg of benzalkonium chloride in every 100 ml.

Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may alter the color of the contact lenses. Remove contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes before putting them back on.

Benzalkonium chloride may cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eye or other corneal diseases (the transparent layer on the front of the eye). Consult your doctor if you feel any unusual sensation, itching, or pain in the eye after using this medicine.

Do not administer to children under 12 years of age, as this medicine contains boron and may affect fertility in the future.
