Contraindications

Side Effects
Possible side effects include elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which may lead to glaucoma, occasional optic nerve damage, posterior subcapsular cataract formation, and delayed wound healing. Long-term use may also increase the risk of fungal and viral infections of the cornea.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Cortan Eye Drops are classified as pregnancy category C, indicating that they should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary.
