If you have mixed-colored eyes (blue-brown, gray-brown, yellow-brown, or green-brown), you are more likely to experience this change than if your eyes are a single color (blue, gray, green, or brown). The change in eye color may take years to appear, although it can usually be seen after 8months of treatment. The change in eye color may be permanent and may be more noticeable if this medicine is used in only one eye. The change in eye color does not appear to be associated with any problems.

It may be necessary to review your treatment to ensure that you continue to receive the most appropriate treatment for your condition.

The side effects observed in children at a frequency greater than in adults are runny nose and itching in the nose and fever.
