This medication is for the eye. To use:

• wash your hands as well as the skin surrounding the affected eye;
• gently pull down the lower lid of the affected eye;
• apply 1 drop of the medication;
• unless your condition prevents you from doing so, close the eye for at least 1 minute, while gently pressing on the inner corner of the eye, near the nose.

This medication is typically used only once a day. However, your pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. Use it regularly and continuously to maintain its beneficial effects.

If you forget a dose, simply skip it and then apply the next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not double the next dose to catch up.

In addition to its desired action, this medication may cause some side effects, notably:

• it may increase the length of your eyelashes;
• it may change the colour of your eyes over time -- this is more likely among people who already have some brown eye coloring;
• it may irritate your eyes.

• it may cause eye pain;
• it may cause redness of the eyes;

Each person may react differently to a treatment. If you think this medication may be causing side effects (including those described here, or others), talk to your health care professional. He or she can help you to determine whether or not the medication is the source of the problem.
