4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Adults (including the elderly):_
One to two drops, as required.
_Children:_
As directed by the physician.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either of the
active ingredients.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Use with caution on an inflamed eye, as hyperaemia greatly increases
the rate of systemic absorption through the
conjunctiva.
The cornea may be damaged by prolonged application of anaesthetic eye
drops.
The anaesthetised eye should be protected from dust and contamination.
Systemic absorption may be minimised by compressing the lacrimal sac
at the medial canthus for one minute during and
after the instillation of the drops.
This blocks the passage of the drops via the naso lacrimal duct to the
wide absorptive
area of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa.
It is especially advisable in children.
