Warnings & Precautions
Patients being treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may experience a severe hypertensive crisis if given a sympathomimetic drug. Patients already using an eye product obtained on prescription should use this ophthalmic solution only after consulting a doctor or pharmacist. Napolin should be used cautiously in children, the elderly, patients with cardiovascular disease including cardiac arrhythmia, patients with poorly controlled hypertension, and patients with diabetes, especially when it is not adequately controlled, as well as those who have urinary retention or prostate hypertrophy. It should also be used cautiously in patients with sympathetic denervation, such as those with insulin dependent diabetes, orthostatic hypotension, hypertension, or hyperthyroidism, because of the risk of possible systemic effects. Caution is likewise needed in patients known to suffer from pyloroduodenal obstruction or epilepsy. Prolonged or excessive use may lead to rebound ocular vasodilatation or congestion. These eye drops may cause transient mydriasis, temporary blurred vision, or other visual disturbances that could affect the ability to drive or use machines. If mydriasis or blurred vision occurs after instillation, the patient should wait until their vision clears before driving or operating machinery.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to any component of this product, and narrow-angle glaucoma.
