Went to my doctor on my second day with pink eye. My left was almost swollen shut (both top and bottom lids) and a couple hours after my first dose the swelling already went down a lot. With one day of use so far, my swelling is completely gone and symptoms have subsided aside from a little bit of redness. Everyone reacts differently to meds but its been quite effective for me.

Our Pediatrician prescribed this for my 6 yr. old son. Putting the drops in was painful for him, so he moved around too much, & is maybe getting half the amnt per drop.

After three days eye wasnt getting better. Cheek and around the eye became red and swollen and ached. Call the doc when the redness and swelling moved down to my jaw and my vision got worse. severe allergic reaction to the medicine. Switched to Tobradex and it cleared up in two days

Just after one day the redness in my eyes was reduced. I did notice a bad taste in my mouth but it wasnt a huge deal.

Used it on my 4year old daughter in the morning and by evening the white of her eyes were swollen. Turns out she had a serious allergic reaction. Hope the doctor prescribes her a cream next time. Drops r difficult for kids.

I had a respiratory flu and woke up with matted eyes. Docotr ordered the cipro but it was very costly. I wonder if there would habe been something else as effective and less costly.

I've had a stomach ache since using the drops and don't know if it's related. I'm eating normally and each time I eat something, my stomach aches.

This medication has a tendency to cause a very distasteful drainage through the nasal cavity to the back of the throat. Not reccomended for recovering cocaine addicts because the taste is extremely similar and could be a "trigger" for a relapse. I was given this treatment for an infection due to an abrasion on the cornea. After two days, I feel no progress in the healing of the infection. I'm supposed to take it three more days.

Does leave a funny taste in my mouth. It burns for about a minute or so when I put it in my eye. I have also had a headache since using that comes & goes.

I did get a horrible taste in my mouth, and it cleared my sinus (weird), however it has worked wonders for the pink eye. I also have gotten headaches while taking these drops, but that is not listed as a side effect.
