HOW TO USE ZADITOR:
ZADITOR: Apply one drop to the eye(s), as directed by your doctor. To apply eye drops, wash hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. Tilt your head back, gaze upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Place dropper directly over eye and administer the prescribed number of drops. Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Do not rinse the dropper. Replace cap after use. If you are using another kind of eye drop, wait at least five minutes before applying other medications. Administer eye drops before eye ointments, to allow the eye drops to enter the eye. For best results, ZADITOR must be used routinely as directed. Continue using it for the full time prescribed. Remove contact lenses before applying the eye drops. Wait at least 10 minutes after using ZADITOR before inserting contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, consult your doctor about the use of contact lenses when the eyes are red or irritated.
