Prescribed for allergy conjunctivitis. It made my eyes tremendously WORSE! Severe itching, redness, swelling and tearing made my life miserable for almost a week before realizing it was from these drops.

After 7 days of using this to treat bacterial pink eye my eyes were even more red, itched, burned, and were sensitive to light. I went to the doctor for different drops, and it cleared up in less than 24 hours. I wish I realized sooner they were making to condition worse instead of better.

My children brought home pink eye from school and they were prescribed this as well as myself after I caught it from them. They got better within 4 days of taking them but for me it made my eyes much worse. I’ve now had it almost an additional week longer than my children did I was curious as to why and was trying to do some research when I came across these negative comments. I would say do not use.

My eye is more swollen and itchy than it was on 2/14/2024. In fact my husband looked at me this evening and stated, “Deb, your eye looks terrible, you need to call the doctor.”

My daughter and I had the same issue: we had pink eye and started these drops. After one day of these drops, we woke up with our eyes almost fully swollen shut. I will never take this again.

The doctor at the urgent care prescribed this medication to treat my pink eyes which I got from my husband. Afte 36 hours, not only do the burn, and the itchiness not improve but also the swelling, redness, and discharge worsen. I am in extreme paint now. Because today is 1/01/2023, all the urgent care are closed. I guess I can go to ER to get a different medication after a LONG WAIT. What a great day to start a new year!! My husband got Tobramycin to treat his pink eyes. The symptom improved a lot in 6 hours - It cleared his burn, selling, and discharge. Read More Read Less

Got prescribed this for itchy eyes they usually give me something else but I didn’t question it when the doctor prescribed me this instead I picked up the medication and began using it right away at first it did feel better when it went into my eye but right after my eyes are itching and every time I put it in my eyes i go into a itching fit so here I am looking up this medication because it seems to not be helping me at all and I see the reviews on this and I’m glad I’m not alone or bugging when I felt like something wasn’t right about it but it sucks that we have to go through this my eyes feel dry and now both eyes seem to be infected I am stopping the medication immediately and I will be asking them to prescribe me my usual oxafloxin or however you spell it. My advice to anyone else using this is don’t wait to call and get something else prescribed if by day 2 it doesn’t seem better stop using it. I’m doing a telahealth phone call at 10:15pm tonight to be prescribed something else because I just can’t take it anymoreRead More Read Less

First day woke up with one eye red, as the day wore on it started having yellow gunk. I washed it with a q tip and warm water. That helped, I would have used baby shampoo with it. I did a virtual visit online with a doctor, and they prescribed this. My eye got less pink after the second day on this. Today is the third day, and it's almost gone. My first mistake was keeping my contact in throughout the day, but I was at work. I will bring my glasses as backup from now on. But these drops worked for me!Read More Read Less

I had conjunctivitis with blurry vision for four days, then I started taking this medication. I am at almost 100% recovery after 48 hours. Very pleased.

I hate to pile on to other negative comments, but I have intense burning, itching, blurred vision, and redness shortly after using the drops. These are NOT mild reactions. I've been using them for over a week, and I'm close to giving up.

This is the worst pink eye medication, my eyes are more itchy and so irritated, it does not help and dries out the eyes which makes the pink eye even worse.

This medication has sulfuric acid in it. I cannot say at what dilution, however I attribute the burning to this. I had to get another medication prescribed due to the damage this was causing to the skin around my eyes. After changing medicines, the bacterial infection was cleared in five days.

I used this drug for 3 days and the burn and itching got so bad that I had to stop using it. It was horrible and did nothing to help my pink eye. I would not recommend this to anyone.
