Therefore, you are advised to remove contact lenses before using TARIFLOX DROPS and reinsert them after 15 minutes after using TARIFLOX DROPS. Also, inform your doctor if you experience pain, stinging or abnormal sensation in the eye after using TARIFLOX DROPS.

TARIFLOX DROPS may cause temporary blurred vision immediately after using. Therefore, you are recommended to wait until your vision is clear before driving or operating machinery.
