My two year old son was prescribed Sulfacetamide Sodium Ophthalmic Solution USP, 10 % for a bacterial infection (conjunctivitis) in both eyes. It didn't help at all. His infection kept getting worst. He was prescribed 1 drop to both eyes four times a day for every three hours for five days. His doctor told me that it should start showing signs of getting better by the third day (which did not happen). Because this is not what happened by the fourth day I had to call ask a nurse and they recomended he be seen again. This call took place on a Saturday night (the fourth day of of his medication) I had to take him into convienant care at the hospital instead of his original doctor on Sunday. I do not know why it is called convienant care when the wait to get in is about an hour and a half long. My son had to suffer longer than necessary which caused for concern. That is why I rated it so poorly.Read More Read Less
