Drug Warnings

Do not take Diflucor Eye Drop 5 ml if you are allergic or have had a severe reaction to the corticosteroids or any of the ingredients of Diflucor Eye Drop 5 ml. Please inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting Diflucor Eye Drop 5 ml. Diflucor Eye Drop 5 ml is not recommended for children under 1 year of age, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established.

  • Do not rub your eyes even though some ophthalmic drugs make your eye itchy.

  • Wash your eyes with clean water at least twice a day.
  • Manage stress, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep.
