Before putting on the suspension, make sure to wash your hands
to prevent contamination.

the lower eyelid.

Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) as prescribed by your
doctor, usually every 4-8 hours.

Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes after applying the drops and
gently press on the inside corner of your eye to prevent the liquid
