Do not use this medication if...

Unless your doctor approves, do not use Vasocon-A if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or high pressure within the eye (glaucoma). Avoid this product if you've had a reaction to any of its ingredients.

Special warnings about this medication

The drops may sting briefly when first applied. However, if you experience eye pain, changes in vision, or continued redness or irritation--or if the condition gets worse or lasts more than 3 days--stop using the drops and call your doctor.

To avoid contaminating the eye drops, do not touch the tip of the container to any surface. Replace the cap after using. If the solution becomes cloudy or changes color, do not use it.

Overdosage

Overuse of Vasocon-A can make the redness worse. If an infant or child drinks the solution, it could lead to coma and a marked loss of body temperature.
