`IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT PROLENSA
`PROLENSA contains sodium sulfite, a substance that may cause allergic reactions, some severe, in certain people. In addition, tell your doctor if you have had an
`allergic reaction to any other medications.
`Slow or delayed healing may occur while using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as PROLENSA.
`Use of NSAIDs in the eye may result in certain serious eye conditions that can be sight threatening. Tell your doctor immediately about any side effect that you may
`have.
`Replace bottle cap after using and do not touch dropper tip to any surface in order to avoid contamination of the bottle.
`Remove contact lenses prior to using PROLENSA. The preservative in PROLENSA, benzalkonium chloride, may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Lenses may
`be reinserted after 10 minutes following administration of PROLENSA.
`If more than one eye medicine is being used, use the eye medicines at least 5 minutes apart.
`The most common side effects (seen in 3%8% of patients) were inflammation of the eye, foreign body sensation, eye pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision.
