WARNINGS / PRECAUTIONS
Betadrone®-N should not be administered to red eyes until definite diagnosis is carried out.
Treatment with corticosteroid / antibiotic combinations should not be continued for more than 7days in the absence of any clinical improvement, since prolonged use may lead to occult extension of infection due to the masking effect of the steroid. Prolonged use may also lead to skin sensitization and the emergency resistant organisms. Treatment with corticosteroid antibiotic combinations should not be continued or prolonged without regular review to exclude raised intraocular pressure, cataract formation or unsuspected infections.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
Safety for use in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. There is inadequate evidence of safety in human pregnancy. Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of fetal development. However, this finding has not been proven in humans but precautions in usage are needed.
