Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or the doctor treating your child has told you Wash your hands Twist off the cap Hold the bottle, pointing down, between your thumb and fingers Tilt your head or your child’s head gently back. Pull down the eyelid with a clean finger, until there is a ‘pocket’ between the eyelid and the eye. The drop will go in here Bring the bottle tip close to the eye. Use a mirror if it helps Do not touch the eye or eyelid, surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper. It could infect the drops Gently squeeze the bottle to release one drop of TOVAXO at a time After using TOVAXO, keep the eyelid closed, apply gentle pressure by pressing a finger into the corner of the eye, by the nose for at least 1 minute. This helps to stop TOVAXO getting into the rest of the body If you use drops in both eyes, repeat the steps for the other eye Close the bottle cap firmly immediately after use Only use one bottle at a time. Do not open the pouch until you need to use the bottle. If a drop misses the eye, try again If you wear soft contact lenses, do not use the drops with your lenses in. After using the drops wait 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes, once a day - in the evening Only use TOVAXO in both eyes if your doctor told you to. Use it for as long as your doctor or the doctor treating your child told you to If you or your child receive more TOVAXO Rinse all the medicine out with warm water. Don’t put in any more drops until it’s time for the next regular dose If you forget to use TOVAXO Continue with the next dose as planned. Do not use a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Never use more than one drop in the affected eye(s) in a single day If you stop using TOVAXO Do not stop using TOVAXO without first speaking to your doctor or the doctor treating your child, the pressure in your eye or your child’s eye will not be controlled which could lead to loss of sight
