The medicine is generally safe but sometimes it may cause irritation, stinging sensation, and discomfort in the eyes. If these side effects become severe or stay for a long duration, you should consult the doctor immediately. Your doctor may be able to tell you ways of reducing or preventing some side effects or suggest another treatment.
