Product introduction
Retonac-PF Eye Drop is a pain relieving medicine used to treat pain and inflammation associated with cataract surgery.

This may lead to infection.

However, if they persist or get worse, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms.
Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor about all the other medicines you are taking. You should also tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions or disorders. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult with their doctors before using the medicine.
