Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using DI MILL.
Do not use for prolonged treatments; consult your doctor if you do not notice any improvements after a few days of treatment.
Avoid application if you have problems with a part of the eye called the “cornea” (corneal inflammation, wounds or abrasions).
The use, especially if prolonged, of products for local (topical) use can give rise to sensitization phenomena (excessive reaction of the organism to foreign substances with which it has come into contact).
In this case, stop treatment and consult your doctor to start an appropriate therapy.
Accidental ingestion or inhalation of some disinfectants can have serious, sometimes fatal, consequences (see section 3 “If you use more DI MILL than you should”). In case of accidental ingestion, consult a doctor immediately.
The product is for external use only and therefore should not be ingested.
The active ingredient in this medicine, benzalkonium chloride, may cause eye irritation.
