Poen-Caina side effects
Pupillary dilatation or cycloplegic effects have rarely been observed with Poen-Caina hydrochloride preparations. Irritation of the conjunctiva or other toxic reactions have occurred only rarely. A severe, immediate-type apparently hyperallergic corneal reaction may rarely occur. This includes acute, intense and diffuse epithelial keratitis; a grey ground-glass appearance; sloughing of large areas of necrotic epithelium; corneal filaments and sometimes, iritis with descemetitis.
Poen-Caina contraindications
Do not use in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation.
In view of the immaturity of the enzyme system which metabolises the ester type local anaesthetics in premature babies, this product should be avoided in these patients.
