Check that the packaging seal is intact.
Open the packaging, making sure that the cap and dropper do not touch any surface.
With your head tilted back, pull down the lower eyelid and instill 1 drop into the conjunctival sac (space between the eye and the eyelid) of each eye while looking up.
Gently close your eyes and keep them closed for a few moments.
Replace the cap on the bottle after each use.
Before using other ophthalmic medications, wait at least 10 minutes.
