    Before taking Omlonti

    You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to omidenepag isopropyl.

    Tell your doctor if you have ever had swelling or infection in your eye; retinal detachment; or eye surgery or injury affecting the lens of your eye.

    Omlonti may cause a gradual change in the color of your eyes or eyelids and lashes. You may also notice increased growth or thickness of your eyelashes. These changes occur slowly and you may not notice them for months or years. Color changes may be permanent even after your treatment ends, and may occur only in the eye being treated. This could result in a cosmetic difference in eye or eyelash color from one eye to the other.

    Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    After you remove the Omlonti multi-dose bottle from the carton, make sure the tamper-evident overcap is not broken. If the tamper-evident overcap is broken, Omlonti may not be safe for you to use.
