4. What are the possible side effects of MOISOL Z EYE DROP?

Common side effects may include a mild stinging or burning sensation, temporary blurred vision, redness of the eye or eyelids, watery eyes, itching, swelling of the eyelids, eye pain, eye discharge, or a sensation of a foreign body in the eye. Most of these are temporary and often resolve on their own.

5. Is MOISOL Z EYE DROP safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

There is limited information regarding the effects of MOISOL Z EYE DROP during human pregnancy.

7. What precautions should be taken while using MOISOL Z EYE DROP?

Remove contact lenses before applying MOISOL Z EYE DROP and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. Since it may cause temporary blurred vision, avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after use until your vision is clear. Inform your doctor if you have any existing eye infections or are allergic to any ingredients.

8. What should I do if I miss a dose of MOISOL Z EYE DROP?

If you miss a dose, instill the drops as soon as you remember, provided the next scheduled dose is more than 4 hours away. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

10. How should I properly administer MOISOL Z EYE DROP?

Wash your hands thoroughly before use. Tilt your head back, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and hold the bottle upside down without touching your eye or eyelid.
