Even if your symptoms improve, consult a doctor, pharmacist, or registered salesperson if you will use the drops for more than 2 weeks.

Depending on how it is stored, crystals of an ingredient may form on the tip of the container or inside the cap. If so, wipe them off gently with clean gauze before use. Do not put anything else in the container.
