Instructions for Use

1a 1b	Take the plastic bottle (image 1a)out of the cardboard box and write the opening date of the bottle on the cardboard box in the space provided. Wash your hands carefully before opening the bottle. Remove the cap (image 1b).
2	Hold the bottle upside down with your thumb on the shoulder of the bottle and your other fingers on the bottom of the bottle. Before the first use, pump the bottle repeatedly, about 20 times, to get a consistent flow of product (image 2).
3	Tilt your head or your child's head back. Pull the lower eyelid down with a clean finger until there is a "space" between the eyelid and the eye. The drop will go into this space (image 3). Bring the tip of the bottle close to the eye. Use a mirror if it helps.
4 5	Do not touch the eye or eyelid, the surrounding areas, or other surfaces with the dropper tip.The drops could become infected. Press the lower part of the bottle gently to release one drop into the eye (image 4). If a drop does not fall into the eye, try again. After using the medicine, press the corner of your eye near your nose (image 5)with your finger. This prevents the medicine from coming into contact with other parts of your body.
1-5	If you need to treat both eyes, repeat these same steps (1 to 5) for the other eye. Close the bottle with the cap immediately after use. Use only one bottle at a time. Do not open the cap until you need to use the medicine. You must discard the bottle 3 months after the first opening (checking the opening date written on the cardboard box),and use a new bottle.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
