Important Safety Information
Clinical use:
Pediatrics (≤16 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada
has not authorized an indication for pediatric use.
Geriatrics (≥65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that
safety and effectiveness is comparable between elderly and other adult patients.
Relevant warnings and precautions:
- Bacterial keratitis
- Gradual change in the eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye. These changes include increased
length, thickness, and the number of lashes or hairs. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon
discontinuation of treatment.

generally not be used in patients with active intraocular inflammation

herpes simplex keratitis and in patients with a history of recurrent herpetic keratitis specifically
