Levofloxacin-DF Eye Drops, 5 mg/ml should not be administered subconjunctivally. Eye drops should not be instilled directly into the anterior chamber of the eye.

Fluoroquinolones for systemic use can cause allergic reactions even after a single use. If an allergic reaction to levofloxacin occurs, discontinue use of the eye drops.

As with all antimicrobials, long-term use of Levofloxacin-DF can lead to the growth of resistant microorganisms, including fungi. If there is a worsening of infectious manifestations or no clinical improvement after a certain period, it is necessary to stop using the product and prescribe an alternative therapy.

Levofloxacin-DF eye drops, 5 mg/ml contain benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, which may cause irritation, and should not be used while wearing hydrophilic (soft) contact lenses, as the preservative may be absorbed by them and cause eye irritation. Iritis is possible; remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes after instillation. Patients should not use contact lenses if they have symptoms of a superficial bacterial eye infection.

Benzalkonium chloride discolors soft contact lenses.
