The following side effects are known to be associated with this medicine. Safety information for patients with severe damage of the cornea: In very rare cases deposits of calcium phosphate on the cornea were reported during treatment with phosphate-containing products for ophthalmic use.Like all medicines, Artelac SDU Preservative Free can cause some side effects, although not everybody gets them. If you experience any difficulty stop using your drops and talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If you are using more than one type of eye drop you should administer them at least five minutes apart, to prevent the second drop washing away the first. Use eye gels or ointments last. In very rare cases, some patients with severe damage to the clear layer at the front of the eye (the cornea) have developed cloudy patches on the cornea due to calcium build-up during treatment.

Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby.
