How to use LIVOSTIN eye drops

You may find it easier to put eye drops in your eye while you are sitting or lying down.

1. Shake the bottle well before removing the cap. To open a new bottle, twist off the plastic protective cap and the seal will break.
2. Hold the bottle upside down in one hand between your thumb and index finger. Using your other hand, gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a pouch.
3. Tilt your head back and look up.
4. Put the tip of the bottle close to your eye. Do not let it touch your eye.
5. Release one drop onto your eye by gently squeezing the bottle. Close your eye. Do not blink or rub your eye.
6. While your eye is closed, apply gentle pressure for a few minutes with your fingers to the bridge of your nose to prevent medication from being drained from the eye.
7. Repeat the above steps for the other eye.
8. Place the cap on the bottle and close it tightly.
